This is one of the Bunnicula Ready to Read books so it's written for the youngest reader. If you have a young reader who isn't quite ready for full-blown chapter books, but needs something a bit off-beat, this is a great series for you. You need to know that Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, is the main character of the zany, suspenseful chapter books and he lives in a house with a dog named Harold, a puppy named Howie and a cat, Chester, who suspects Bunnicula of mysterious doings.

Toby is having a birthday and all the animals have been consigned to the basement. Are they being replaced? Chester, the cat, has a plan to prove their worth.
