Zombiekins

Zombiekins by Kevin Bolger follows Stanley who finds a zombie stuffed animal.  When Stanley takes Zombiekins to school and it bites the school bully and a bunch of kindergartners are bitten Stanley and his friends have to figure out how to save the school.

My daughter loved this book so much that she drew pictures of Zombiekins for weeks.  She was excited to tell me what happened next and thought it was hysterical.  The pictures are funny and well drawn and make the book perfect for kids who are reluctant readers or for younger advanced readers. It's much more funny than scary and is great for young readers who want to read "scary" books like their older brothers or sisters.

Zombiekins is written on a middle-fifth grade reading level (but has plenty of pictures to make it accessible).  I sent it to my cousin who hates to read and he was so excited that he jumped up and down.  This is a great book for reluctant readers and for younger advanced readers.  I can't stress how wonderful this book is or how much your kids will love it.
