Ratings and reviews

Loved it when I was in school my librarian asked me what I liked and i said bunny book's then she gave the book to me to keep for a while . By the way I am Donnabelles 8 year old daughter

I've loved these books ever since I was younger. Probably because I loved animals so much and the fact the stories were told from the view point of Harold, our narrator dog, delighted me. But the books are amazingly written for all ages and the stories are always cute and mysterious.

I read this book at school about a bunny named Bunnicula and the characters Chester and Harold.
