Book Buzz Example:
I want to tell you about a book I just read called
Bunnicula. It’s written by James Howe. It is a fantasy
mystery book that is told by the family dog, Harold. This
hilarious story takes place in the home of the Monroes.
When the Monroes bring home a bunny they find in the
movie theater, they name him Bunnicula. Harold’s friend
and the pet cat, Chester, is convinced that Bunnicula is a
vampire bunny. He tries to prove it to the rest of the
household. You will laugh out loud at this hysterical story!
Good news, if you like this book, you can read the whole
series. You can find this book in the Bakerville library, the
Crestline library, Emmet O’Neal library, or your favorite
bookstore.
