Book Description

Publication Date: May 10, 2011
CHARMING ILLUSTRATIONS BRING TO LIFE A GHOULISHLY FUN STORY

In the ongoing effort to warn an unprepared world of the rising danger from zombie attacks, one vulnerable group has been left out: small children. That's Not Your Mommy Anymore is an inviting and entertaining story that helps early readers understand that a mom with fresh brain casserole on her mind probably isn't their mommy anymore.

Not just for kids, adult readers are sure to love this hilarious parody as much as the real childrens books they enjoyed in years past.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Younger kids might be a little frightened by the idea of a formerly loving mother who now wants to dine on human flesh, but older kids and grown ups will get a kick out of this tale." --GeekDad, Wired.com

"It's like Dr. Seuss meets Night of the Living Dead.  Which to me is a perfect childhood!" --As It Happens, CBC Radio

"The double page spread that pays winking tribute to the most famous zombie film characters is worth the cover price alone." --Horror World

"That's Not Your Mommy Anymore is a beautifully illustrated and fun to read book which helps kids spot the early warning signs of zombiism." --SuicideGirls.com

"Chronicling the zombie apocalypse through a Seuss-esque filter, the colorful book serves as both a valuable narrative for adults and cleverly disguised survival guide for children." --Geekscape.net

From the Back Cover

When Matt Mogk was a little kid he suspected his mom might be a zombie.  Turns out she wasn't, but that experience led him to start the Zombie Research Society, and become a leading global authority on all things undead.

Through his work Matt knows that there will be tens of millions of zombie moms in the coming pandemic, and so he's dedicated his life and this little book to helping people of all ages better prepare for the day their moms try to eat them.

Considering the CDC's latest promotion to be ready for the Zombie Apocalypse, well this book would help the little ones clue in when Mommy might not be Mommy anymore (that's not your Mommy in the rain, that's not your Mommy eating brains...).

Seriously though, my 8 year old was howling with laughter and so was I! Though it reads like a Dr. Seuss I would not read it to a 4-6 year old..but 7 and up (depending on the individual child of course) this is fun. Parents should use their own discretion of course. Even if it's too much for a particular little one now, older children and the parents can snicker over it on their own.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Ok I don't have kids but I had to at least give this a serious look through. I have to say, it's a recommended book for any fan of the zombie "culture". While the story is cute (and carries a great message!!), the illustrations are what bring it to life. It is well drawn out and vibrant. Oh, and the cameos? Very well played!

This is one of those books where it's best to say "know your kid" before buying it for them. Otherwise I'd say it's worth leaving on the coffee table for your friends to enjoy when they come over.

I bought this book for my brother's birthday as he is something of a zombie 'enthusiast' and I thought he might appreciate something unique related to his favorite subject. Everyone at the party was howling over this book! It is hilarious! Basically it starts off like a regular children's book and then suddenly this kid's mom starts to turn into a zombie. The poetry is well-written and makes this a fun book to read aloud. My brother loved this book so much he is buying copies for all his 'zombie friends'. Overall I am very glad I bought this book - fun at parties and a huge hit!

Good but badly formated
This is a fun book but the kindle version is really badly formatted, with text separated from the images themselves. Worth buying as a real book, not worth in on Kindle.

Great fun for the whole family
I have 6 kids, ages 1 year through 10. The one year old really has no opinion on the book, the other 5 love it. It is the perfect length to get the message across and be fun. Read more
