Zombiekins

Written by Kevin Bolger

Narrated by Johnny Heller

Kids don't get much wimpier than fourth-grader Stanley Nudelman. He is shy and afraid of, well, lots of things. He spends most of his time hiding from school bully Knuckles Bruzkowski. But then everything changes when Stanley finds an unusual stuffed animal at Old Lady Imavitch's yard sale. Zombiekins is part bunny, part teddy bear-and 100% zombie! When Stanley brings his new friend to school, all heck breaks loose. Now Stanley will have to find the courage he's pretty sure he doesn't have in order to stop zombies from taking over the fourth grade! With years of experience as a language arts teacher, Kevin Bolger knows the types of stories kids devour. His popular Sir Fartsalot Hunts the Booger was called "Don Quixote for nine-year-olds, filtered through Captain Underpants and Monty Python" (Quill and Quire). Bolger's distinct brand of humor is hilariously conveyed by award-winning narrator and stand-up comedian Johnny Heller.

Reviews for Zombiekins

[annebaron · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

After Stanley Nudelman purchases a creepy stuffed toy at the Widow Imavitch's yard sale, his life gets a little crazy. Stanley takes his harmless new toy to school and havoc ensues when it comes to life, bites Stanley's schoolmates and turns them into Zombies. It is up to Stanley and his friend Miranda to recapture Zombiekin and save the school, if they can manage to keep from being bitten in an Elementary School full of Zombies.This was a very fast paced book with amusing and sometimes contradicting illustrations that make it quite comical to read. It is funny enough to keep it from being to scary for younger readers, yet would hold the interest of the older reader in the reccomended age range.
