This Book Is Sooooooo Adorable!!!!

This book is simply amazing, but I certainly wouldn't advise letting little kids get ahold of it, it could give nightmares!!HAHAHA!!!But it's perfet for the freaky, punk, goth, metal-head, or any dark soul in your life who needs an interesting coffee table book!:-D

Eeek! It's...the Alphabet!

Z Is for Zombie is just what it sounds like: a (loosely) Halloween-themed alphabet book. Featuring eerie illustrations above a related couplet ("Zombie: From the earth the Zombies rise./Walking corpses terrorize!"), this book will appeal to the kids who love ghosts, horror stories, and anything icky. It will also appeal to ghoulish parents, and those who are growing tired of alphabet books.However, caveat emptor: the illustrations are not comic, nor do they pull punches. The giant tarantula picture, which spans two pages, will not be even remotely fun for the arachnophobic (even adults can get geechy looking at this one). And the illustration for E, a sink lined with jars full of eyeballs, might be over-the-top for the young or squeamish types - the sink has blood dripping down the sides, and some of the eyeballs have visible stalks. Definitely review this before you read it with children, and know your audience. This book is best used with utterly unflappable kids (you know who they are), and probably shouldn't be read in story times or to other large groups - there's always going to be at least one kid who will be terrified. Still, for the right people, this book will be delightfully horrible fun - perfect for Halloween night.

This is a unique alphabet book for young monster fans.

From well-coined verses to menacing illustrations, Z Is For Zombie is destined to be many a child's favorite picture book choice for shivers and chills on Halloween or any other time.

This book is a Halloween classic but fun to read anytime.

This book is fun and spooky at Halloween or anytime. My favorite monsters are wonderfully illustrated and I love the poetic clever text. This is a book you can almost never get tired of re-reading. As this is the author's first book, I can't wait to read her next one.
