I love zombies.. who doesn't? First of all I must say that this is not exactly for kids but it was designed to look like a kids' book. The graphics are excellent and the writing is funny and entertaining. I love this book. This is a must have for all zombie fans.

The book is a very fun read with plenty of grown-up humor interlaced throughout. It's the story of Fred being chased by five zombies (as you probably assumed). The dialogue flows very similarly to the familiar "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" song/rhyme. Fred's able to kill most of the zombies, no thanks to the Canadian Mountie he keeps asking for assistance. But if you want the whole story, you'd better read it for yourself!
Let me tell you about what makes this book so special. You need to pay attention to the numerous hidden stories in the background. After reading about Fred's adventures, go back to the beginning and check it out again...this time, look at the mini-stories. Between the cows, penguins, polar bears, people, and clouds, there are so many other fun things going on!
The book's illustrations are whimsical and put smiles on my whole family's face! It's illustrated in the style of a young child's book, but trust me, you probably won't want read this to your two-year-old. If your kids are familiar with zombies and you have no problems with teaching your children what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse, by all means, this will make a GREAT gift!

It's very easy to be charmed by the Jules' text and Matt's rendering of the Zombies, Fred, and the Mountie. But please, folks, when you buy this book, keep your eye on what's happening in the BACKGROUND of the pages. I won't spoil it for you, so buy the book.
