4.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the garden , 21 Sep 2006
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A dog's life can be more complicated than you might think - especially if that dog is a canine author who happens to live with a puppy possessing some definite Scrappy Doo character traits, a vampire bunny, and a feline Van Helsing. OK, the jury is still out on the bunny's alleged vampiric nature, but Chester the cat is convinced of it - and he's committed to saving the neighborhood from the threat posed by Bunnicula. Harold, the narrator of this fantastic tale, thinks Chester is somewhat touched in the head, but events conspire to raise his own suspicions once more as this latest Bunnicula e story unfolds.

It all starts with Bunnicula's sudden disappearance one morning. Chester, who has never forgotten all of those white, juice-drained vegetables that turned up after Bunnicula's previous night-time disappearances, immediately assumes that the vampire bunny has gone on another rampage, a conclusion seemingly reinforced by the presence of a large white beet in the backyard. For the first time, Chester also begins wondering what happens to all those vegetables that Bunnicula leaves in his vampiric wake. From his reading, he knows that vampires' victims usually become vampires themselves. Minion onions? Stalking celery? Why, this puts every man, woman, child, and animal in the neighborhood at risk.

Despite Harold's natural reluctance and contrary opinion, he, Howie (a dachshund puppy who has adopted Chester the cat as his "Pop"), and Chester immediately go on the prowl, armed with plenty of toothpicks with which to stab any white vampire vegetables through the heart. A series of misadventures follow as the trio of four-legged heroes tries to find Bunnicula before it is too late to save everyone in town, including their own human family members.

The Celery Stalks at Midnight, besides having one of the best titles you'll ever find, is a wonderfully entertaining read for adults as well as children - although some of the jokes will find much more fertile ground on youthful ears. It's not quite as good as the original Bunnicula novel, however, as the story does get a little silly toward the end. Still, any adventure with Harold, Chester, and Howie is a trip worth taking. Parents, I would highly recommend this book for your youngsters, especially those who haven't yet discovered just how fun reading can be.
