Welcome to Litsy!

@wildalaskabibliophile and I visited the Alaska Botanical Garden last weekend. We are already dropping into the 30ºs overnight, so it wasn't prime time to visit, but there was still a lot of life in the gardens, and they had their Boo-tanical celebration going on. We found Audrey II and Bunnicula. They also have a Little Free Library at the entrance full of gardening books.

Book #3 of 2025: “Bunnicula”

Natalie moved out a couple weeks ago and left behind some absolute treasures so I took a short trip down Scholastic memory lane ❤️ What classics.

Bunnicula is a classic for a reason. The story is timeless and is still fresh every time you read it. The newest version is in graphic novel, and the perfect illustrators were picked to take this classic and make it modern for a new generation. There‘s nothing to tell about the story itself as it stands on its own decades after it was published. But it took skilled artists to make that medium visual in a way that‘s entertaining to kids

[Editor's Note] The book you are about to read was brought to my attention in a most unusual way.

(The blurb/quote on the cover, btw., is priceless - Today vegetables... tomorrow the world! 😂🧛🐰🥕)

Thanks to @booksandsympathy and her post about Bunnicula meets Edgar Allan Crow I stumbled on the Bunnicula series and I was not disappointed. Some of the stories have been weaker than others but have still been very funny. I loved it. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The last story in the serious definitely gave me some Hitchcock The Birds vibes. Unwisely I was reading it in a village full of storks. 🙈
But I thought it was a suitable end for the story. And it gave some interesting insights on the life of authors of horror story.

They changed the paper and the style of the pictures in the last book of the series. 🙈 I - as a creature of habit - don‘t like it at all. 🤬 At least the format is the same.
