Bunnicula

Hook:

"He slicked his ears back close to his body, and for the first time,' Chester said, 'I noticed the peculiar marking on his forehead .What had seemed an ordinary black spot between his ears took on a strange v-shape, which connected with the black patch that covered his back and each side of his neck. It looked as if he was wearing a coat... no, more like a cape than a coat."(page 20)

"I still don't understand what vampires have to do with our little furry friend.' 'One,' Chester said, 'vampires do not sleep at night. They sleep only during the day. The same holds true for this rabbit. Two, vampires can get in and out of locked rooms. Bunnicula gets in and out of his locked cage... Three, vampires have pointed teeth. They're called fangs." (page 47)

"Chester came closer. After a moment of close examination, he gasped. I jumped. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. 'Harold...' Chester blurted. 'What? What?' 'It's...' 'Yes?' 'It's...' 'What is it, Chester?!' 'It's a white Zucchini!" (page 52)
