Description

Zombie in the Basement is the heartwarming tale of Alfie, an adorable young zombie who lives with Andrew and his family. Their special houseguest struggles to learn how to cope with being different than everyone else while Andrew and his family help to teach Alfie how to manage the situations that arise from his condition. We're all different, and that's a good thing. Our children should be taught to proudly march to the beat of their own drum, and to embrace the individuality that exists in the world around them. It's up to us to give them enough love and support to find their own way without leading them by the hand and doing it for them. In this first book of the Zombie in the Basement series, Alfie, Andrew and their friends try to get the zombie's foot back from the neighbor's dog Scooter. The job is made more difficult when the neighbor, who doesn't like Alfie because he's different, refuses to help. Will the boys ever get Alfie's foot back?
