Review
What makes The Bunnicula Collection stand out from other children’s audiobooks isn’t just its delightfully quirky premise – it’s the way these stories come alive in audio form, thanks to John McDonough’s masterful narration. From the first scene in the Monroe household, listeners are swept into a whimsical mystery that balances playful suspense with hearty humor.
The heart of the collection is its memorable trio: Harold, the ever-affable dog; Chester, the melodramatic cat with a taste for detective work; and, of course, Bunnicula – the enigmatic bunny whose presence sparks wild speculation about vampire vegetables and supernatural shenanigans. Deborah and James Howe craft their storylines with charm and wit, giving each character distinct personalities that shine even brighter through audio.
McDonough’s performance elevates this classic series into something truly special. His energetic delivery animates each animal’s quirks – Harold’s warm narration feels like an old friend recounting tales by your side, while Chester’s theatrical suspicions burst forth with comedic flair. The subtle shifts in tone help set scenes of both suspense (is Bunnicula really draining veggies at midnight?) and laugh-out-loud absurdity (Chester’s dramatic deductions are priceless). McDonough manages to keep younger listeners enthralled while also giving adults plenty to smile about.
Each installment – “Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery,” “The Celery Stalks at Midnight,” and “Nighty-Nightmare” – builds upon its predecessor with escalating stakes and inventive twists. The pacing is tight but never rushed, blending moments of tension with lighthearted relief. While some may find elements predictable (it is aimed at younger audiences), there’s enough cleverness here to engage all ages.
If there’s any drawback, it might be that a touch more music or sound effects could have deepened immersion – but honestly, McDonough’s voice work does much of the heavy lifting on its own.
Whether you’re nostalgic for childhood favorites or introducing your family to these endearing misfits for the first time, The Bunnicula Collection offers a pitch-perfect mix of fun-sized thrills and enduring warmth – a testament to how great characters can leap off both page and speaker.
