There’s a Zombie in My Treehouse
The Holiday Season is well under way, and those of with kids might feel overwhelmed with countless adventures in Toys R’ Us and Wal-Mart. It wasn’t too long ago that I remember fighting massive crowds of crabby, frustrated parents looking for that last Tickle Me Elmo. So this year, why not do your kid a favor and prepare them for the Zombie Apocalypse in a fun and education way by purchasing Plume and Robinson’s book “There’s a Zombie in my Treehouse.” I first heard about this book on “Night of the Living Podcast,” and all I can say is…it’s BAD ASS!
The story is pretty simple, our hero, Johnny, has an amazing tree house where he spends many happy days pretending to be a knight in shining armor, a cowboy, or other heroic figure. But then one day we seem Johnny sulking on the curb. When asked why he isn’t playing in the treehouse he explains, “Because there is a zombie in my treehouse.” Several people try to console the young boy, explaining that the zombie is all in his imagination. So one by one they ascend into the treehouse (and this is the BEST part) never to be seen again. There are no gory scenes, no explanation, they just simply disappear.
The story is cute, easy to read, and has some great artwork from Len Peralta. Perhaps I am a horrible Father, but I wish I could have read this book to Tiny when he was younger instead of “Goodnight Moon” for the 100th time. So if you want a unique gift for a zombie loving parent, visit http://www.zombieinmytreehouse.com and pick up a copy of this book!
