APPEALS TO: MANY
Zeb and his Zombie family raise certified organic brains on the farm. He knows better than to name the brains, but when he sees his first newborn brain, he can’t resist making it his pet. When Zeb thinks his Dad is going to eat Brian Brain as a midnight snack, Zeb helps Brain escape to where the wild brains roam.
Rule number one on any family farm is “Don’t Name the Animals!” I love Lucianovic’s riff on the familiar premise. Cham makes the brains and the zombies so adorable, that you will forget, just a little, that you are reading a book about brains and zombies. Silly fun.
