Little Scary, but Not Frightening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I purchased a number James Howe mystery books for my granddaughter in an effort to cut into her computer game playing time. It worked wonderfully. Once she started reading one of the mystery books, she could not put it down. James Howe is able to inject just enough humor into his mysteries that they are not frightening. I think my granddaughter read his complete series including Return to Howliday Inn. Good series for children.
Return to Howliday Inn --great!!

The first three Bunnicula books were favorites of mine when I was young. I bought them for my son's Christmas present. He loves them. He reads them in the car and laughs out loud at parts. It is hard to find books that boys will love and want to read. These fit the bill!
One of my favorite books as kid!

I actually read this book before the original Howliday Inn, and I still think I like it better. I must have read it at least twenty times, because it never failed to make me laugh out loud, and still does! I loved animal characters, and the ones here are so clever, and the dialogue is unbelievably witty for a kid's book. Some of the humor, like the Shakespeare references, I didn't get until I was much older. "A 700-page first novel entitled Ah, Life!"
Its like bones talking from the dead!!!

I absolutly love this book! It is an amazing tale of laughter and fright. The way the dogs (and cats) piece it together is amazing. The fright is bone chilling and the laughter is hilarious. It is the best book I have ever read with the Weasel, 2 wierd cats and way, way more!
THIS BOOK IS SOOOOO COOL!

This book is about Harold, Chester and Howie going back to Chateau Bow-Wow where Howie was first born. They meet some mysterious animals at their stay. Even more mysterious is Rosebud, the ghost and her warning about the secret of Howliday Inn.
