My Take
The bunny every child wants in his corner! Never to be tortured with vegetables again…wahooo! It was a quick, fun read and written from a different perspective…the family dog.
Think Bugs Bunny in terms of appeal for children and adults. My kittens were thoroughly discombobulated by my guffaws!
Fabulous children’s story! And yet another take on the vampire world! Do not pass this up…it’s too funny.
The Title
The title is that kwazy wabbit…Bunnicula!!
