I would have to say this book is meant for older kids that start at the age of five and end about age seven or eight. This book is easy to read for kids, and also has an index in the front of the book and a dictionary in the back. I think this book is funny and great for children to read, this book talks about the characteristics of zombies. For example what they eat, how they look, how they walk, what they are, how they become, and basically everything that a child can think of about zombies. In the end of the book I enjoyed how the author wrote that zombies are not real, and told kids to go out and act like zombies by “putting on some old clothes and roll around in dirt. Then walk around slowly and say, Brains! BRAINS!” (Frisch, 2013). This book shows some good pictures and uses good language for kids, so therefore I am rating this book four stars out five. I would this book to my classroom when we begin to talk to about different genres of books, for example this book is non-fiction so once I teach my class about science-fiction and what that means I would then read this book as an example.

This comes from a series of books that I can easily get my kids to read. The text isn't particularly challenging, but it does cover something that my kids ask about a lot. The pictures are interesting enough and I know that I'm not handing my children anything that I will regret later on when I lend this out (which is a problem that I run into a lot with this sort of book). This, like other series from Creative Education, does a good job of being tactful, yet interesting. It allows me to provide students with appropriate reading material for potentially inappropriate topics, and I appreciate that.

An easy-reading, non-fiction series for early readers. But not too young of readers as some of the pictures are a tad gruesome. It could be a lot worse though and I am glad the text is easy and brief to satisfy the questioning of youngsters wanting to read about all these things that are so popular in today's culture.

Hey, it's "My first zombie book". Start your futire horror reader off right with this little primer on the walking dead. Gently scary, with some classy, and campy, black and white illustrations for older fans.
