I am currently listening to The Vampire Cat as I drive back and forth to work and can hardly wait to get back in my car! I read the Hank books as a child growing up in West Texas and now love to imagine the Caprock and dusty plains as I grumble through the fresh hell of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex morning rush. I got a little sad when Mary Dee Cat lamented leaving her home (where she was "marooned for two long years") and the glorious sunsets and night skies. Hank in all his bravado cracks me up, as do the rest of the characters in this book and the other books (the buzzard father and son team, coyotes Rip & Snort, the fabulous weenie Drover, monosyllabic Slim, and prissy Pete the Barn Cat not to mention crazy Mary Dee). They're old friends I'm glad to read about and listen to again.

This book really made me hungry for cheese....

I love all the Hank books, and this is a great one for the Christmas season. These books are hilarious and more important to the young reader, fun to read. I'd also check the rest of the series.

this is a really good hank book and i have read them all. it includes lots of the usual characters plus introducing the vampire cat.

I'm reading a book named The Case of the Vampire cat.Its a really good book ,beacause it is a mystery.Because it has mystery in it you are wondering what is going to happen next,and when hank gets lost you are wondering if he get out.It is really a good book so I think you should read it.

This book is a fantasy. It is narrated by a dog named, Hank. He works on a ranch in Texas and calls himself the head of security. He acts very brave, but he really isn't.

The story takes place during the winter. It is very cold and snowy. Hank rides with Cowboy Slim to feed the animals at the Hodges' Place. They have to use an army truck because the roads are dangerous. Hank is riding in the back of the truck. They pass coyotes and Hank makes fun of them. The truck goes around a curve and Hank accidentally falls out. Hank thinks they will come back for him, but they don't. No one notices he is missing. He has to find a way to make it home.

Hank walks to a nearby farm and meets a crazy cat named Mary D. Cat. He doesn't like cats and wants to get away from her. Soon coyotes appear and Hank is very afraid. Mary D. Cat tells Hank how to get home. Hank decides he can't leave the cat alone and goes back to save her from the coyotes. He makes up a story about the cat being a vampire. Mary D. Cat goes along with it and acts like she really is a vampire. The coyotes get scared and run away.

Mary D. Cat helps Hank find his way out of the canyon. She decides to go back to her farm. Hank realizes he they have become friends. Hank finally makes his way back to the ranch.

This book a good book to read. Hank is a funny dog, especially when he gets scared.

Hank is humorous and entertaining. Sometimes, hilarious. You just might have to stop reading for a minute to have yourself a good laugh. This book is good reading for boys, ages 8 and up. Girls will like it, too.

IS MARY D CAT A REAL LIVE VAMPIRE? THIS BOOK HELPED MY MIND EXPAND ON THE FICTION WORLD.JOHN ERICKSON REALLY HAS A REAL GOOD WAY OF ELABORATING. SLIM TOOK HANK&DROVER TO A CAKE HOUSE(A HOUSE WHERE COW FEED IS KEPT.)THERE DROVER AND HANK MET A CAT NAMED MISS MARY D.CAT. THAT CAT ALWAYS HAD A SHORT TEMPER.DROVER AND HANK KEPT PESTERING THE CAT. THEN THEY LEFT TO GO FEED THE COWS ON TOP OF A VERY STEEP HILL.HANK WAS MAKING FUN OF A COUPLE OF COYOTE BROTHERS AND THEN SLIM TURNED A HARD LEFT AND HANK FLEW RIGHT OUT OF THE CAR. HE WAS A REALLY IN TROUBLE.THIS WAS A REAL GOOD FOR ALL AGES.
