Description

Mommy, Daddy, and a new baby makes three! A heartwarming--and hair-raising--tale of undead parenting from the bestselling author and illustrator of Zombie in Love, which Kirkus Reviews called "clever and delightfully gross."

Happily married zombie couple Mortimer and Mildred are thrilled to be new parents. But having a baby isn't what they expected. Sonny hardly ever cries. His teeth are coming in instead of falling out. And worst of all, he's awake all day and sleeps through the night.

Mortimer and Mildred are dead tired, and very worried. Will their precious baby boy ever behave like a good little monster?

New York Times bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio and illustrator Scott Campbell team up once again to bring their lovable zombies the family they always wanted.

Campbell's watercolor illustrations show gray-green scenes full of comic and faux-gory touches....Share with a slightly older audience who will fully appreciate the silly yet wonderfully gross details.

Publishers Weekly

Zombie lovers Mortimer and Mildred, last seen in Zombie in Love, have "a little problem" in the form of the baby left on their doorstep. They happily take Sonny in, but "His teeth were coming in instead of falling out," he sleeps soundly through the night, and his skin is quite pink compared to their blue-green pallor. A trip to the doctor puts their fears to rest, and before long they are playing "got your nose" in the way only a zombie family can. DiPucchio and Campbell are in ghoulishly comic sync, with plenty of punning and visual gags (brains appear as everything from hobby-horse heads to table lamps) to keep kids cackling. Ages 4-8. Agent: Steven Malk, Writers House. (Jan.)
