Best viewed in portrait mode as the illustration with text on top takes up the whole screen that way.  My Mommy is a Zombie is a nice heartfelt tale of a child explaining to the reader that their mother unfortunately had an accident and is now a walking corpse.  The child narrator explains and looks back with a bit of sadness on the life their mother used to have and some of the memories of times interacting with them and other family members.  However it's not a life is over now, mum used to hug me and now can't, it's a cruel world read.  The child still loves it's mother and deals with the fact the mother now has a major disability.  This would be a great book to read for someone who has a friend or family member who has been in a car accident, or diving accident or something like this or become sick and is no longer able to do the things they used to do, due to being paralysed, deformed, no longer speak or whatever reason, drastically isn't the person they were before.It's also a fun child friendly zombie themed picture book.  The cartoon illustrations are well done and colourful.  The text is on top of the background parts of the image so the images and text always appear where they should on the same page.Other good zombie picture books you might want to check out areThat's Not Your Mommy Anymoreby Matt Mogk,It's Okay to be a Zombieby Nathaniel Lambert andZombie Cat: The Tale of a Decomposing Kittyby Isabel Atherton.
