review:
'A Is for Asteroids, Z Is for Zombies: A Bedtime Book about the Coming Apocalypse' by Paul Lewis with illustrations by Ken Lamug is the kind of bedtime book to read if you don't really want to sleep.

One night at bed, Timmy has questions about the end of the world. Tim's father remembers a book that Tim received for Halloween that they had hidden because it was too grim. What follows is an ABC book with all the various ways the world can end. From global warming to killer robots to asteroids and zombies, the book is told in gleeful rhyme with beautifully terrifying illustrations. We get an inset of Tim's horrified face as he reads the book to his son.

This is really not a kids book unless you have a kid that won't have nightmares based on this book. The situations are told tongue in cheek, but they are truly scary. The illustrations are fabulous, and the rhymes actually have the right meter! This is a gift book for an older child who likes all things apocalypse.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
