ANIMAL ZOMBIES is the perfect educational book for the Halloween season. With stories of vampires, werewolves, and zombies, we know they're fiction. Animal zombies are real and it's amazing to share something that exists out there with my daughter this spooky season.

ANIMAL ZOMBIES features creepy creatures and instances that make my skin crawl. It's divided into five chapters: The Living Dead, Bloodsuckers, Creeps from the Deep, Animal Aliens, and Animal Monster Mash. This book contains creatures that I never knew existed and I hope I never meet them. At the same time, it was intriguing to learn about them.

The pictures are real photos and they set the mood for the theme of the book. The spooky vibe is toned down enough for children, but it's still there. What's scarier than Animal Zombies? It's a nice change reading an educational book to get you in the mood for Halloween. It gives you a break from the fiction and gets your brain active.

Final Verdict: This is the perfect book for fans of animals, bugs, zombies, and creepy facts. I can't wait to share this book with other children as well.
