 My Thoughts

This is the perfect picture book for Halloween. It shows kids exactly how to battle zombies. It starts out with the perfect armor and weapons, including pots and brooms. Next, it walks you through the different types of zombies you might face, ranging from zombie rabbits to zombie princesses. The book proceeds with fun activities like mazes, and hints on how to fight and avoid zombies.

My kids really enjoyed this book. They thought it was a lot of fun. It's a quick and easy read and  has awesome, detailed illustrations and really held their attention. This playful guide on how to zap zombies would make a much better treat then candy this Halloween.
