Sure, zombies are pretty scary. They stink. They want to eat your brains. They’re terrible house guests. Who says zombies can’t be fun, too? Don’t they look kind of silly falling down and bumping into things? Sometimes they can even be cute. So, before you run away screaming for your lives, stop and appreciate the beauty of the undead. And remember, It’s Okay to be a Zombie.
Mortimer is looking for love. And he’s looking everywhere! He’s worked out at the gym (if only his arm wouldn’t keep falling off). He’s tried ballroom dancing lessons (but the ladies found him to be a bit stiff). When it seems all hope has died, could the girl of Mortimer’s dreams be just one horrifying shriek away? This humorous undead twist on traditional romance is endearingly spooky, adorably creepy, and sure to keep readers in stitches!
That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore
“When she’s shambling ‘cross the bedroom floor,
that’s not your Mommy anymore.
When her voice sounds just like Daddy’s snore,
that’s not your Mommy anymore.
Matt Mogk, founder of the Zombie Research Society, wrote a delightful children’s book called That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore. It teaches children how to recognize a zombie outbreak and take steps to protect themselves. Think of it like Night of the Living Dead meets Doctor Seuss.While we can all agree that the zombie apocalypse is coming, you’ll have to decide for yourself whether this book is right for your geekling or if it should just be read and chortled at by the adults of the house. There is some gore and there is an undead Mom. Some of our kiddos were all “Ew, gross, no!” while others laughed their little butts off and demanded a repeat reading with more zombie sound effects. YMMV.
“Zombie Cupcakes” serves up an overdue backlash. Cooked up in the darkest of graveyards, it presents a ghoulish army of delicious creations that appear anything but sugar-coated. Recipes range from Zombie Flesh to Zombie Brain, from Gravestones to Night of the Living Cupcake. All the cooking and icing techniques are included, and every recipe features step-by-step instructions for the baking and icing, alongside devilish illustrations and photography. As a finishing touch, zombie quiz panels will test your undead knowledge, making this the book that will raise the spirits at even the most lifeless of gatherings.
