Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery
Take one eager canine narrator, a well-read cat, and a seemingly harmless rabbit who might *actually* be a vampire, and you’ve got yourself Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery, the 1979 children’s novel by James and Deborah Howe that started a beloved series. For the third week of Manuary 2022, Alli and her guest laugh their way through a discussion of vampire lore, neurotic pets, and animal antics. They also talk about the Bunnicula origin story and the way the story has been adapted over the years. They wrap things up with an important discussion about how to prevent the banning of books.
