"This wonderfully inventive series introduces young readers to scary creatures who pop up regularly in children's literature. Humorous cartoon-like illustrations and engaging first-person narratives offer vivid details about physical characteristics, nasty habits, and overall evil proclivities. The text weaves in historical and cultural perspectives to help children build background knowledge and context. Each volume includes an invitation for readers to write their own scary stories. The multicultural approach creates opportunities for students to make connections and gain deeper understandings, whether considering traditional or contemporary tales. Media specialists and teachers can use these to introduce genre units, and they are sure to attract browsers."―starred, School Library Connection

This volume introduces Roscoe, a cute little blue-skinned zombie, who thinks that being undead is aces: 'That's right! I'm dead. And I'm alive. How cool is that?' Through a series of comic tableaux, illustrated with funny, pop-eyed fervor by Buccheri, Roscoe explains how zombies are spawned via virus or mad scientist, prefer people as food (brains even more so), and bite the living to create more zombies. Mostly, though, they just moan and groan. The final few pages make brief, historic connections (bare bones, so to speak), mentioning zombie history in Haiti, China, and Europe." --Booklist
Describes what zombies look like, where they come from, what they eat, what zombies in other countries are like, and the best thing about being a zombie.
