They sleep during the day. They awaken at night. They are among us, and yet not quite fully human. It’s a … ZOMBIE! No, wait, .. it’s a BABY! … Huh?
A Baby’s First Book of Zombies is a new book for young children and their parents, from illustrator Marc Scheff (< — me) and author Justin Reich. The book playfully explores the parallels between babies and zombies and the process by which parents slowly become zombies during their first year of parenthood. By alternating between scenes which are very silly and scenes that are just a little bit creepy, the book helps young children begin to learn the joys of incorporating monsters into their imaginary worlds.
