It Came from Beneath the Bed!
There's nothing like a series to keep kids turning pages.  Bunnicula's family is back, and Uncle Harold steps aside to let  Howie, the family dachshund, tell all in It Came from Beneath  the Bed!, the first in the Tales from the House of Bunnicula  series by James Howe, illus. by Brett Helquist. The inaugural  adventure finds the doggy fighting off a marauding stuffed  animal culled from the clutter. In Book 2, Invasion of the Mind  Swappers from Asteroid 6!, Howie must save Delilah from aliens  and thwart their plan to take over the planet. With Helquist's  illustrations and a tongue-in-cheek note to readers on the back  of the book, the unjacketed hardcovers bear a strong resemblance  to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
