Horace and Morris (but mostly Dolores) love cheese. To them, Swiss is bliss, Muenster is magnificent, and nothingand#8217;s better than cheddar. But everything changes when Dolores develops an allergy to her favorite food. Even worse, a food festival is coming to town, featuringand#8212;what else?and#8212; cheese! Fortunately, Dolores is one resourceful little mouse. And she comes up with a solution to her problem that is far from cheesy! Once again, the creators of the popular Horace, Morris, and Dolores books tackle a common childhood dilemma with verve and panache.
About the Author
James Howe is the author of more than seventy books for young
readers, including the popular and award-winning series about Bunnicula
and his friends. Among his other books are the Pinky and Rex series,
The Misfits, Totally Joe, and the Sebastian Barth mysteries.
James did not enjoy camping when he was a boy, but he did always wish he
had a pet skunk. He still does wish this at times, but for the most part
he's happy with the dog and two cats who share his home in New York State.
James Howe says:
"Back in the Olden Days, before there were such things as cable television
or DVDs, I loved staying up late at night to watch old horror movies on TV.
My favorites were the ones about hollow-eyed vampires and torch-bearing
peasants, or those with mad scientists whose accents fell somewhere
between Upper Mongolia and the Bronx. Nighty-Nightmare came out of
the affection I still feel for those movies and the laughs -- along with
the chills -- they gave me. Chester's story of how Bunnicula traveled from
Transylvania to America is a spoof of just about every old horror movie
I ever saw!"
