Book Summary

In 'Bunnicula Strikes Again!', Harold the dog narrates as Chester the cat becomes convinced that Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, is shrinking and fading away because he's not getting enough 'blood' (vegetable juice). Chester tries many funny and frantic ways to 'revive' Bunnicula, from offering him vegetables to performing strange rituals. Harold and the Monroe family watch Chester's antics with growing concern. In the end, they discover that Bunnicula isn't fading but is simply hibernating, which is a normal thing for rabbits to do.
