About this listen
Nighty-Nightmare:
Are Harold, Howie, and Chester simply lost in the woods with Dawg, their strange new friend? Or have they been lured away from their campsite intentionally, leaving the Monroes at the mercy of evil spirits? Lulling Dawg to sleep with a bedtime story may be their only hope of escaping - but is the hare-raising tale of the origins of Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, really a bedtime story?
Return to Howliday Inn:
The Monroes have gone on vacation, once again leaving Harold, Chester, and Howie at Chateau Bow-Wow. The motley crew of boarders may have changed, but the creepy goings-on at Howliday Inn have not. A ghostly voice, buried bones, and a collar with the name “Rosebud” on it suggest that murder may have been added to the services offered at the kennel.
Bunnicula Strikes Again!:
It seems that Bunnicula is back to his old ways - or so Chester thinks, having found pale vegetables drained of their juices scattered about the kitchen. Can Harold let Chester get away with hurting an innocent bunny, no matter what his harebrained suspicions are?
When the Monroes notice Bunnicula’s weakened condition and rush him to the vet, the chase is on, ending with a dramatic confrontation in a most unusual (and dangerous) location.
Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow:
Pete has just won a contest, and the prize is a school visit from none other than M. T. Graves, Pete’s idol and the best-selling author of the FleshCrawlers series. But Chester the cat is suspicious. Especially worrisome to him: In each of the FleshCrawlers books, something bad always happen to the pets...
It’s up to the gang to find out if M. T. Graves and his beady-eyed Edgar Allan Crow are really devising a plot to make their beloved bunny...nevermore!

Dear possible listener of this audio, I want to be a writer, just like my Uncle Harold, who wrote a bunch of books about our friend Bunnicula. So I wrote It Came from Beneath the Bed!. It’s about a wirehaired dachshund puppy named Howie who saves the world from a disgusting, evil menace named...oops, that would give away the story! After I wrote my first book, my editor asked me to write another one. In Invasion of the Mind Swappers from Asteroid 6!, the lovable and smart (not to mention talented) Howie and his friend Delilah face their biggest challenge yet.

For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Nicky has freckles - they cover his face, his ears, and the whole back of his neck. Sitting behind him in class, Andrew once counted 86 of them, and that was just a start! If Andrew had freckles like Nicky, his mother would never know if his neck was dirty. One day after school, Andrew works up enough courage to ask Nicky where he got his freckles. When know-it-all Sharon overhears, she offers Andrew her secret freckle-juice recipe - if he pays. Andrew is desperate and feels it's worth it. At home he carefully mixes the strange combination of ingredients. Then the unexpected happens.

You can learn a lot about life by observing another species. That's what Humphrey was told when he was first brought to Room 26. And boy, is it true! In addition to having FUN-FUN-FUN in class, each weekend this amazing hamster gets to sleep over with a different student, like Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. and Speak-Up-Sayeh. Soon Humphrey learns to read, write, and even shoot rubber bands (only in self-defense, of course). With lots of friends to help, adventures to enjoy, and a cage with a lock-that-doesn't-lock, Humphrey's life is almost perfect. If only the teacher wasn't out to get him!

Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Great for any age!
I started this series as a child, I’m 30 now and still enjoy them. The narration is wonderful and the characters and plots innocent and unmarred from the evils of the world. I will share them with my own kids some day.

All 4 stories are now complete!
I hesitated to get this because earlier reviewers noted that the ending of the last book is missing. After holding off for months, I decided to get this anyway, since my family and I enjoyed the first three books so much. We were delighted to discover that book 7 is complete, including and afterword.

Such fun for our family!
If you could sum up The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4-7 in three words, what would they be?
Funny, entertaining and intelligent! These books are a riot, with jokes aimed at parents that still have enough humor that my 6 year old can identify to make them fun for all of us!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4-7?
Definitely the staking the zombie-vampire vegetables with toothpicks!
Have you listened to any of Victor Garber and Patrick Mulvihill ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've only heard Victor Garber before--Patrick Mulvhill was okay, but I missed Victor Garber's Howie in book 7.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would cheerfully listen to one of the three stories all in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
Definitely a great production for a family in need of some road trip entertainment!

The most emotionally charged books in the series.
I grew up with, at least, the first 5 Bunnicula books when I was in 4th or 5th grade. Years later when I first heard my mom laughing while listening to Victor Garber's reading of the first book, I really wanted to read the rest of the series and, in my opinion, "Bunnicula Strikes Again" & "Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow" with the former being the darkest chapter with the most optimistic conclusion & an end to a long time rivalry & the latter being a perfect conclusion to the book series. Victor Garber was the absolute best person to provide the voice for this book series. The characterizations he gives to each character feels spot on, & I can practically see them in my mind's eye. Patrick Mulvihill is harder to get used to, & doesn't have the same range as Garber, but his own approach is charming & enjoyable, & he did a great job bringing it home.

Lovely stories; incomplete narrator information
Would you consider the audio edition of The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4-7 to be better than the print version?
I don't know about better (gosh, I read and loved these books so much when I was a kid!), but audiobooks are of course a very different experience from reading in print, and for me there's something extremely soothing about having some tales--P.G. Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett, and, of course, James Howe--read aloud by the right narrator.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I suppose it has to be Harold, that scruffy dog who's been a fictional companion since I was wee--but, then, who's Harold without Chester? Who's Watson without his Holmes?
What does Victor Garber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The sheer color and variety of his characterizations! Every character, no matter how small, gets distinct shading from Garber (the only character where I feel he goes seriously astray is Harrison in _Howliday Inn_ in the first collection). But really, my favorite thing here is the cosy, often hilarious rightness of his voices for the main characters. Everyone no doubt envisions Harold, Chester, and Howie differently, but Garber gets them just as I'd imagined only somehow more so.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
A few years ago, I reread Howe's _Bunnicula_ stories for the first time since childhood. They remain charming, engaging, and fun. I have an enduring love for this series, and Victor Garber's readings have given me a magnificent fix.
Any additional comments?
NOTE: VICTOR GARBER ONLY NARRATES THE FIRST THREE OF THE FOUR BOOKS IN THIS COLLECTION. I purchased this in the first place because I hadn't yet read or listened to _Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allen Crow_. The other three books I bought separately years ago on iTunes, but I was happy to spend a credit on this for a new-to-me _Bunnicula_ tale read by a narrator I like. Alas, that last book is read not by Garber but by Patrick Mulvahill, and I don't care for his performance. I ended up returning this.

Last Narrator was an odd choice.
Loved it. I have both collections, and thoroughly enjoyed them. All but the last book, had the same brilliant voice reading.
