The Ladybird Book of the Zombie Apocalypse by Joel Morris, Jason Hazeley
5.0
When there is no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth.
But there are still lots of interesting things you can do.
My colleague received this for Christmas, and brought it in to work for me to read because he knew I would love it.
I just adored Ladybird books when I was a nipper. Even more than Mr Men. It's true. My favourites were the 'Well-Loved Tales' of the 60s and 70s. I mostly loved the artwork, and I still have a few of my most cherished tales.
I've been enjoying Ladybird's new spoof series. Aimed at adults (presumably those who would have originally read these books as children), they use illustrations originally used in the Ladybird's massive library of factual and fictional publications.

I think I laughed at each new spread.
I think this title might appeal more to fans of apocalyptic and dystopic fiction than Ladybird's other offerings. If you've watched lots of zombie films and TV, you'll get a kick out of this book.
I will be buying my own copy.
