Book Review: A IS FOR ASTEROIDS, Z IS FOR ZOMBIES



Told in rhyming verse, A IS FOR ASTEROIDS, Z IS FOR ZOMBIES is actually a story within a story. Timmy, a young boy, is having trouble sleeping because of his fears about asteroids and zombies. His dad wants to help him and remembers a book that Timmy's aunt gave him for Halloween. Timmy's Daddy finds the book and reads it to himself to see if it's something that might help Timmy. The book is A IS FOR ASTEROIDS, Z IS FOR ZOMBIES and the book not only leaves the father shocked, but utterly frightened himself.  Zombies get more than one several stanza in the book and seem to be the book's main focus. Personally, I liked the entry for "L" best:  "L is for legions of lawless marauders who'll come for the family: Mom, pop, sons, and daughters."  I enjoyed A IS FOR ASTEROIDS, Z IS FOR ZOMBIES. It's the type of book just right for people with a warped and slightly wicked sense of humor. Although it won't be an issue for most of the people buying this book, it should be noted that the book does have a slight left political bent (the "T" entry is for Trump, for instance).
