Auerbach, Annie Plants vs. Zombies: Brains and the Beanstalk Illustrated by Charles Grosvenor & Jeremy
Roberts. HarperFestival, 2013. $4.99
PICTURE BOOK Content: PG.
Jack gets a note that zombies are coming to
eat his and his mom’s brains. His mom
has Jack trade an old lawn mower so they can have some things to fight the
zombies off with, but Jack trades the lawnmower for seeds. This is the story of Jack and the Beanstalk
mixed with the popular iPod app Plants vs. Zombies. Jack uses the seeds and climbs the pea shooting
vine. He finds a gold marigold and a big
zombie that wants to eat his brains, but Jack uses a red pepper that explodes
the giant zombie off the vine and onto the other zombies in front of his
house.
This is obviously a book for
those who play the game Plants vs. Zombies and is a bit confusing for the average
person. The red pepper must be an
explosive from the game because I was unsure how it could blow up the big
zombie. It comes with 30 stickers. Overall, the pictures are bright
and I think readers who like the game will like the book.
EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
