Description

First there is the omen: A relentless rain stops suddenly at 3:00 am and Chester shows Harold and Howie a cat carrier, open and waiting, by the front door. Chester, who has been reading avidly about the paranormal, predicts that they will soon be traveling someplace, and chances are they are not going to like it.
Indeed they are not, as the very next day, with the sun shining bright and clear, the Monroes finally leave for their vacation, dropping Chester, Harold, and Howie off at the scene of some previous harrowing experiences — Chateau Bow-Wow, the boarding kennel that Chester so aptly had dubbed “Howliday Inn.”
And this visit promises to be no less harrowing than the last one. The three are greeted by a whole new group of temporary residents. There’s Hamlet, the Great Dane, whose sadness grows deeper with his certainty that his beloved master Archie will never return to pick him up. And Bob and Linda, a pair of yuppie puppies from fashionable Upper Centerville who have been left at Chateau Bow-Wow with a more than adequate supply of gourmet treats, also seem to have been left with a more than adequate supply of worries. Then there are Felony and Miss Demeanor, sinister sisters in crime who pride themselves as cat burglars, and The Weasel who tries almost too hard to make a good impression.
Chester is certain that nothing bodes well and he is right. Unexplained voices, buried bones, a collar with the name Rosebud on it, and a secret code all make for a paranormal experience that none of the guests at Chateau Bow-Wow will ever forget.

Embark on another hilarious and spine-tingling adventure with Chester the cat and his canine companions, Harold and Howie, in James Howe's "Return to Howliday Inn," part of the beloved Bunnicula and Friends series. This first edition hardcover is a must-have for young readers who love animal stories, mysteries, and a touch of the paranormal! Picking up where "Howliday Inn" left off, our furry friends find themselves once again reluctantly deposited at Chateau Bow-Wow, the dreaded boarding kennel that Chester has cleverly nicknamed "Howliday Inn." But this visit is shaping up to be even more bizarre than the last. A premonition in the form of a mysteriously appearing cat carrier and the sudden ceasing of torrential rain at exactly 3:00 AM sets Chester's paranormal senses tingling. This book is one of the installments of the famed Bunnicula series which enjoys wide popularity since the original's release in 1979. This time, the trio encounters a whole new cast of quirky characters. There's Hamlet, the melancholic Great Dane, convinced his beloved owner, Archie, has abandoned him. Bob and Linda, pampered puppies from the posh Upper Centerville, arrive with a mountain of gourmet treats and an even larger mountain of anxieties. And then there are Felony and Miss Demeanor, a pair of mischievous "cat burglars" with a penchant for petty crime, and the eager-to-please Weasel, who might just be trying a little *too* hard to fit in. This book explores the ideas of friendship and acceptance. Chester, ever the astute observer (and avid reader of paranormal literature), is convinced that something sinister is afoot. And he's right!
