Leveled Reader
Bunnicula has been adapted for level 3 in the leveled reading series “Ready to Read”, and surprisingly, not much of the story’s original charm is lost in this simplified re-telling. Harold, the patient sheepdog, recounts his family’s reactions to their newly adopted vampire bunny. Due to the intended audience, it is forgivable that the illustrations have been injected with cute—Alan Daniel’s realistic animals are replaced by Jeff Mack’s muppet-like ones. A great choice for beginning readers yearning for independence, ages 6-8. ****
