Publisher Pitch

Being undead has its perks, but this zombie cannot shake a terrible hunger for friendship. Every promising encounter ends with another accidental gulp, from children out and about to an angry crowd. Can someone finally stay long enough to become his friend? Barefoot Books recommends this spooky, silly picture book for ages 6–8.
