Quick Summary
Fans of silly animal adventures will get a kick out of this one Toby's pets end up poking around seven mysterious suitcases that lead to all kinds of hilarious mix-ups and surprises. It's got just enough spooky fun to make it feel exciting without ever crossing into anything that would keep kids up at night, which makes it a winner for younger readers who like a little bit of mild creepiness with their humor. At an AR level of 2.6, this is perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who are getting comfortable with chapter books the sentences aren't too tricky, but there's still enough story to feel like a real chapter book rather than a picture book. This is book six in the series, so if your kiddo devours it, there's more Bunnicula fun waiting on the shelf. One heads up for parents: the "creepy-crawly" in the title is playful rather than genuinely scary, so you can rest easy this is all good-natured, laugh-out-loud chaos that most early readers will finish in a couple of sittings.
