After taking many writing classes on "how to teach kids to write"...I stumbled across James Howe's new series, "Tales From the House of Bunnicula"...and I began to learn how to teach writing, from a dog. The whole time I was reading the book, lesson plans popped into my head... "I could use this to teach simile...or that would make a great lesson on 'cliffhangers', or when and how to use adjectives...and this part would show what 'literary license' means..... the book is full of laugh-out-loud humor. I can't wait to share these tales with my fourth grade students. Jame Howe's books are not only fun to read, but you soon realize that you can learn a lot from a dog...and from great authors. This is a Howling Success, I know I'll be using them in my classroom.

I enjoyed this book even though I did not read the other books in the series. Bunnicula is about a boy who wants to rule the world. He made a potion and spilt it on his stuffed Koala Bear named Pudgykins.The potion made Pudgykins grow really, really big. He was eating everything. After he ate one thing he grew one foot taller. At the end of the book they put him on a boat and brought him to to an Island where people dump trash. People were trying to figure out what to do with him. But they just left him on the Island. I like this book very much.

My son was so excited when he was given this book to add to his 'Bunnicula' collection. It has turned out to be a great book, like the others in the series.

I thought this book was hilarious I read it to my mother while she was sick and she also enjoyed it thoroughly too. I also loved reading Howie's Writing Journal. He's just so funny about all the writing. He also uses so many adjectives generally to describe himself which is so funny when his friend reads it. He always tells him he uses too many adjectives about a certain character. If you enjoy short reads that are funny I think you will enjoy this book thoroughly I would recommend this to anyone. this is a great book and the in book author is so funny its hard put this book down after you start it. I also recommend all the Bunnicula books James Howe also wrote those and all his books are so intense, but so funny at the same time. This was a great book I also read some of the other books in this series and they are just about as funny.

Would you ever want to go under a bed to get a potion? Well, It Came From
Beneath the Bed by James Howe is full of mystery. This story is about a dog who wants
to become a writer just like his uncle. Delilah helps Howe save the world from a large
stuffed-animal bear from eating the city. I liked this book a lot. It was good because it was funny and interesting. I don't really have a favorite part because the whole book is
good. Read more to find out.
