That's Not Your Mommy Anymore: A Zombie Tale

By Matt Mogk and Aja Mulford

A twisted children’s book parody that teaches kids what to do if mommy suddenly joins the legion of the undead.

In the ongoing effort to warn an unprepared world of the rising danger from zombie attacks, one vulnerable group has been left out—small children. That's Not Your Mommy Anymore offers social workers, counselors, and educators a helpful new tool to communicate with hard-to-reach at-risk youth. This inviting and entertaining story helps early readers understand for themselves that a mom who has fresh brain casserole in the oven instead of her usual meatloaf is probably not their mommy anymore . . .

This utterly twisted and incredibly funny take on the classic children’s book genre tells an entertaining story in rhyming text even as it teaches other telltale signs that mom has been bitten by a zombie! Rabid zombie fans will be highly entertained by this hilarious parody that adult readers are sure to love as much as the real children books they enjoyed as kids.

Praise for That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore

“Younger kids might be a little frightened by the idea of a formerly loving mother who now wants to dine on human flesh, but older kids and grown ups will get a kick out of this tale.” —GeekDad, Wired.com

Reviews for That's Not Your Mommy Anymore

[nimil-5 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

totally adorable, definitely not meant for really young kids but if they are into zombies they will probably like (and understand) this book more than just the normal small child who thinks you're reading them a bed time story. lets not forget this is a parody, not a real children's book.

I laughed until I cried and then I laughed some more until it triggered an asthma attack. But it was totally worth it! The combination of being written for a child while using pictures that capture the zombie mythos that adult zombie fans know and love is priceless!
