The Zombie Who Cried Human is supposed to be the first book in the "Friendly Little Monsters" series from Brian James Freeman and Glenn Chadbourne. I don't know how many there will be, but I hope there will be lots of them.
This book was adorable! It's a book about zombies, you say, how can that be adorable?! Because it is essentially a children's book. The story is told in an easy-to-read format, and every flip of the page has an illustration. That's not to say this isn't an adult book though. I thought it was terrific. And it has those little nuances that adults love when dealing with kiddie stuff. For instance, they live just outside Romero Town. :) It's the kind of book I would love reading to my weird little nephew. It's a classic fable, retold in zombie world. What's not to like about that?!
And the illustrations! In his typical style, we see the lives of the Zombie family unfold in front of us, including Rex the Zombie Dog. The pictures are colorful and attention-grabbing, but not gory. Perfect for the kiddies.
There is nothing I don't like about this book! I already have a copy on pre-order for my nephew and can't wait for it to arrive.
Thanks for Brian James Freeman and Cemetery Dance Publications for an Advanced Copy of the book in return for a review.

In this fun adaptation of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, zombies are the norm, and humans are raised to be sold at market. While Mama and Papa are away, little boy zombie recalls the time that wild humans descended on the farm and the whole town showed up when Papa yelled for help. Deciding to try it for himself, he learns why it's not a good idea to cry human. The illustrations by Glenn Chadbourne are marvelous.
