In a world overtaken by zombies, the only hope for survival lies in learning the language of the undead. How to Speak Zombie demonstrates how to blend in and avoid being eaten while carrying on with everyday activities like ordering a latte from a zombarista and shopping at a zombie-infested mall. This essential guide features an electronic sound module that demonstrates proper zombie pronunciation ("RAHHHhh!"), helpful text that explores the customs and etiquette of the zombie world, and detailed illustrations that show the undead doing everything from pumping iron to dancing the night away. Deeply informative, this handbook also includes an all-purpose BRAINS button that can be used in any situation, deadly or otherwise.

Librarians take note: in the field of humorous mix-genre zombie books here's one that finally has a place in a public collection. There's little story, but lots of kind-of gross illustrations and a high interaction quotient as each page in this book is a scene and corresponds to a button that when pushed plays one of many zombie drones. This book is sure to engage readers because it is so interaction based. It's not aimed at children per se, but the illustrations are much vaguer when it comes to explicit gore than the combat manuals and So Now You're A... guides. Most of the scenarios are more adult based (at the club or at the gym) but not inappropriate either.
At the very least this would be a fun book to play around with to engage difficult patrons, or that both kids and parents can have fun with. Recommended.
Contains: vaguely gory illustrations, the book makes noises

Mockus writes an entertaining read that is right on target with the trend for all things supernatural. It was fun and light hearted and makes for a great gift. Highly recommend it for those zombie lovers among us or just those looking for a fun read!

10 Key phrases for the inevitable Zombie apocalypse. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. A funny book which seems like one funny joke: gurgley, indecipherable grunts with their English equivalents. But the accompanying text is witty and will give you just as many laughs. I love that "aaaaYYYrarhhhhmMUHHHTT?" means "Can I borrow your yoga mat?" at the gym. I'm interested in taking this book along on camping trips (imagine what these noises will sound like emanating from a tent during the quiet of the night) and on public transit. It has many uses, all funny.

Annoying after a while!
I bought this for my son. It was funny for a while but got silly after a bit of listening to it. It is more of a gag gift and will annoy any parent after a while. Read more
