"Zombie-Kids" by Julia Dweck is a laugh-a-minute parody of zombies, which goes a long way toward removing the 'horror' from zombies, presenting them as being quite fun. The text is one long humorous poem, which meshes well with the very engaging illustrations.I think a lot of adults will like this book, too, but it really is intended for kids. If you have (or know of) a child who is frightened by the idea of zombies, or perhaps has nightmares of a zombie hoard chasing him into a dead end alley, this book will completely change his perception of zombies. From this book, kids will learn to look upon zombies as being just normal people like them, rather than some hideous creature bent on eating their brains. (There are plenty of REAL things in life for them to fear; non-existent brain eating revived dead people shouldn't be causing them anxiety.)I think this book would be very well received by virtually all kids, and some of them may even carry it around the house with them all day, to stay close to their new zombie friends in the book! This is a great gift idea for ages 3 and up. Go check it out!
