Plants vs. Zombies: The Official Guide to Protecting Your Brains is a must for kids who love the video game Plants vs. Zombies.

There are more than twenty-five types of zombies in the fantastical world of Plants vs. Zombies, and each has a special talent—from pole-vaulting to digging to teaming up with a zombie dolphin.

Fortunately, a gamer armed with The Official Guide to Protecting Your Brains has all the tricks, knowledge, and strategy needed to plant a garden—perhaps with a few Fume-shrooms, Cherry Bombs, and Potato Mines—that will defeat each member of the fun-loving, brain-eating mob. The zombies won't have a chance!

This was a replacement copy for my son who really enjoyed the book that was eaten by our very naughty puppy so had to replace it. It has survival tips, plants and their uses and funny puns - if you like that sort of thing. Crazy Dave has written some of his comments throughout the book.
He enjoys playing the games and the book is a favorite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Keeping Your PVZ Fan Busy
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
An entertaining guide for Plants Vs. Zombies' fans who'd like to know a little more about the characters that make up the game. One of my kids is the kind who wants to know EVERYTHING there is to know about whatever interests him. As he's on a PVZ kick, I thought I'd pick up this book for him so that he could read at his leisure without having to worry too much about keeping track of plot. It's a guidebook that my kids will go back to again and again and a nice way to keep them interested without having them constantly plugged into the game. For kids who enjoy fandoms without really wanting to read stories about their favorite characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was satisfied by this funny novelty.
Reviewed in Canada on April 9, 2019

As an avid fan maybe my review would be a little biais. But if I knew this book was so entertaining...I would’ve bought it AGES ago! I would not suggest this much for kids because there is a lot of text to handle, maybe starting at 14+? But if you know the humor that the game has it’s barely a guide into anything. It’s pretty much a funny novel.

The media could not be loaded.
 The book is funny and richlly illustrated. The style is the same we see in the game. As the game changes constantly, the book is not updated with all the plants, but still a good font of information and humor.

Wasn't sure what I was going to get with this products but bought it based on the reviews.
It is perfect. I bought it for a 10yo who is really into PvZ at the moment and also had dyslexia so its hard getting him interested in reading. I wanted to get him something that he would be interested and willing to read off his own back and the writing in this is interesting in font, big enough to read but also has depth to it. Perfect.
