Best friends Pinky and Rex have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. It's the weekend they're going camping alone with their dads. Everything is ready: the station wagon is stuffed with sleeping bags, cartons of food, cooking equipment, and a brand-new tent. Now all they need is nice weather. However, when rain starts to fall right after they leave, their plans for camping and hiking in the woods are washed out. Will Rex's father find two days of activities in his copy of 101 Things to Do with Your Kids, or will they be able to find exciting stuff to do just by looking at the map? In this seventh book about an inseparable pair of best friends, acclaimed narrator Christina Moore again teams with author James Howe to bring to life a story of true friendship-and a weekend adventure that is full of childlike innocence and fun.

Pinky and Rex Go to Camp

Pinky and his best friend Rex are going away to camp for the first time. Rex is excited about it, but Pinky definitely is not. There is just too much for him to worry about. He's certain that his pesky little sister Amanda will raid his room while he's gone and mess up all his stuffed animals. He also knows that camp counselors turn into monsters at night and eat children. And even worse, if the counselors at Camp Wackatootchee don't get you, then the alligators in the lake will. Can a letter to "Dear Arnie" help him enjoy the camp, or will Pinky have to tell his best friend that he's too scared to go? In this fifth book in the acclaimed series written by James Howe, friendship, understanding, and most of all, talking to his parents help Pinky confront his fears. This book-earnestly and heartwarmingly narrated by Christina Moore-will find a favored place in many children's and adults' bookcases.

The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4-7: Nighty-Nightmare; Return to Howliday Inn; Bunnicula Strikes Aga

The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4 - 7: Nighty-Nightmare: An overnight camping trip! Howie, the Monroe's faithful dog, is not excited, and Chester the cat is worried. The woods, Chester informs Harold, are not only full of cockleburs and ticks, but of spirits - evil spirits who prey on the innocent. Harold is not taking Chester seriously. But when two strange men and their even stranger dog set up camp next to the Monroes, things begin to happen that make even Harold wonder. Could Chester be right? Return to Howliday Inn: Harold, Chester, and Howie return to Chateau Bow-Wow, and it's as creepy as ever. The Monroe pets alongside cat burglars, Felony and Miss Demeanor, with Hamlet, a Great Dane, and Weasel (a weasel, of course) , work together to solve the mysterious disappearance of fellow boarder named Rosebud. Bunnicula Strikes Again!: It seems that Bunnicula, the vampire rabbit, is back to his old ways - or so Chester thinks, having found pale vegetables drained of their juices and scattered about the Monroe family kitchen. This time Chester decides to take matters into his own hands (or rather paws). Can Harold let Chester get away with hurting an innocent bunny, no matter what his harebrained suspicions are? When the Monroes notice Bunnicula's weakened condition and rush him to the vet, the chase is on, ending with a dramatic confrontation in a most unusual (and dangerous) location. Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow: The Monroe house is going mad with excitement. Pete has just won a contest, and the prize is a school visit from none other than M. T. Graves, Pete’s idol and the bestselling author of the FleshCrawlers series. He’s even going to stay with the Monroes while he’s visiting! Harold and Howie are thrilled, but Chester the cat is suspicious. Why does Graves dress all in black? Why doesn’t the beady-eyed crow perched on his shoulder say anything? Why has a threatening flock of crows invaded the backyard? And most worrisome of all: In each of the FleshCrawlers books, why does something bad always happen to the pets? Suddenly, Graves’s interest in all of the animals–especially Bunnicula–looks far from innocent. It’s up to Chester, Harold, and Howie to find out if M. T. Graves and Edgar Allan Crow are really devising a plot to make their beloved bunny . . . NEVERMORE!
