THE ZOMBEES

Make bees less scary while celebrating the spooky parts of Halloween by reading THE ZOMBEES. This rhythmic story uses a rhyming scheme to share a night of spooky trick-or-treating.
The zombees emerge from the graveyard ready to invade. Are they coming for a snack, your blood, or maybe your brains? Once kids realize what is really going on, they are sure to giggle and wonder if maybe bees aren’t so scary after all.
It’s quite difficult to rhyme all the way through a children’s story and find a humorous way to tell a story that might otherwise be scary. The illustrations are silly and spooky and show all the fun of Halloween. Prep your kids for Halloween night by showing them that Halloween is about dressing up and having fun…just like the bees.
