Extra Famous Calvin Coconut by Graham Salisbury

Calvin and Zombies?!?  Oh yeah!

Wendy Lamb Books sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you).  It has been published, so check with your local bookshop for a copy.  There are several in this series and it's a great one for both boys and girls.  Calvin is an interesting kid.

When Calvin sees an old friend from the past, he grabs his buddy and goes to check him out.  While chatting, Benny (a teller of tall tales) invited them to be extras in his Uncle's movie.  Calvin's willing even though his buddy thinks it's all just talk.  It's not; it's a Zombie movie!

I'm not wild about Zombies, but this book is really cute.  It's more about making the movie and how the children had to learn to act Zombie-like than Zombies and it's a fun read.

Why not follow along with Calvin and see how this new adventure works for him?

Happy reading.

Zombies is a big thing with kids, young ones even, so although I too am not in to zombies I bet this would be a fun book to share with a little one!
