My first tease is from
Moore Zombies: The Search for Gargoy
by Wendy Knuth
My tease from 31% in the eBook
“Hey, Baby Zom, how about a game of Hungry, Hungry Humans?”
My Review
Baby Zom isn’t happy.
Baby Zom doesn’t want to go camping.
Baby Zom doesn’t want to play Hungry, Hungry Humans
Baby Zom wants Gargoy.
But Gargoy is lost.
Moore Zombies is a delightful picture book. Each page has a wonderful illustration depicting the scene as it’s told.
I would love to have seen the pictures in color, but they’re in black and white in the eBook. They are still fun to look at and there’s so much to see in each one.
Baby Zom is adorable, even if she is a zombie. And she looks to her older siblings to help find Gargoy.
Her brother Kamper is like a typical boy. He’s always on the go and his room is a mess.
Next oldest is her sister Gothina. She likes pretty clothes and accessorizes with her creepy crawlies.
And the oldest of the bunch, Broheimer loves to read. He’s the nerd of the family.
Together they set out to find Gorgoy.
This would be a great story to read aloud with young children. But I think older kids and grown ups would have just as much fun following the dirt trail to the end of the mytsery.
Did you know zombies love tomatoes?

My second tease is from
The Alien Next Door
Scary Neighborhood Adventures
by Donna Trueman
My tease from 5% in the eBook
…the old woman turned and looked right at him. And that’s when he saw it…
It was only there for a second, but it was unmistakable.
My Review
Lukas has a new neighbor. Ms. Weggley may look like a sweet little old lady, but in fact she’s an alien.
His parents don’t believe him, just chuckle at his vivid imagination.
Even his best friend Kianna laughs when he tells her about his neighbor.
The only one who seems to believe him is his dog, Lola. And she doesn’t like the new neighbor. It’s rumored aliens eat dogs!
Lukas sets out to get proof about Ms. Weggley and ends up in the pickle of all pickles.
I’d recommend this book to all young readers. Lukas, his sidekick Lola, and Brianna make a great team. and this story lets your imagination take flight. Who hasn’t wondered about the strange neighbor. Maybe there are aliens among us.
I hope the author writes more of these Scary Neighborhood Adventures. I gather from the ending, Lukas and his pals have another neighbor to worry about. And this time it’s not an alien.

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
Okay, I have to get the zombie book for my son (he is 16 and loves Walking Dead, it would be a great gag.)
My teaser is an excerpt from a YA book about the Underground Railway.

My son read it and he’s 19. LOL
Oh, these look like cute books for young readers. I’m always on the outlook for books for nieces and nephews.
Sorry the above comment is to my wordpress.com blog and not my wordpress.org blog–Notes from a Readerholic. Since my daughters and I started the .com blog I’ve had trouble commenting with the blog I want to. 🙁 Very frustrating.
You can’t go wrong with these:)
Perfect timing for Halloween! Thanks for coming by mine today too 🙂

I wanted to share these and you are right, perfect timing!
These both look so delightful! Thanks for sharing…and here’s mine: “SAVING GRACE”
Aren’t they! I’m reading a lot of childrens books and having fun:)
Haha…these look like some fun books! Thanks for stopping by!
They are Kim. Makes me think back to when….:)
I love “Hungry Humans!” Both books sound entertaining.
My Tuesday post features THE BEARWALKER’S DAUGHTER.
That got me too! The illustrations are adorable. Wish I could have shared some:)
Glad your computer is back up!
Mine this week is a series mystery: Burn by Nevada Barr at http://wp.me/pZnGI-f4
Me too! I feel so lost without it.LOL
That zombie picture book sounds like fun. I’ll have to add it to my Elementary Media Center. Happy reading!
The illustrations are so cute. I love the Moore family:)
Both look super cute for the week. Thanks for the freebie!
Don’t they! I couldn’t resist them and am collecting some Christmas ones too.
The Zombie book looks fabulous, I need to find a child to buy it for! Here is my TT for this week http://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2014/10/28/teaser-tuesday-october-28/
I’ll confess. I bought it for me! LOL My son, who is 19, read it too though. We read it together and had fun. Been doing that a lot lately:)
Cool teasers! I love that you chose kids books, and this zombie book sounds perfect for the holiday! Also, I really want to know what “it” is from the second teaser. Excellent choices!
This week I’m diving into The Perilous Sea.
Both of them were so fun. And “it” is…..LOL
Adorable characters and illustrations. Enjoy!
I did enjoy them! I’ll be reading more from both authors.
The books sound cute. The second one seems like it could reach reluctant young readers. Both are great for Halloween. My teaser comes from Trick or Treat?-a History of Halloween by Lisa Morton.
http://razzberrycoloredglasses.blogspot.com/2014/10/teaser-tuesday-trick-or-treat-history.html
It could reach reluctant readers. It’s fun, fast, and has aliens! The fun cover art would grab them too.
Can’t say I’m into zombies or aliens, but hope you enjoy(ed) them. Thanks for visiting!
They were so adorable and funny.
Cute teasers. These look like really fun books. Thanks for visiting my teaser! Happy reading!
They were really fun. It’s good to go back to younger days and reboot why I fell in love with words:)
I noticed on another blog that you’re watching Tremors. I watched the marathon of four movies a few days ago, lol. Actually I like the tv series better. Gummer is a case!
I watch all of them at least once a year. When they come on TV I grabb my boxed set and put it in so I don’t have to suffer the commercials! LOL
Cute! Gotta love zombies.
I second that!
The Alien Next Door looks like a fun read! How long is it?
It’s about 40 pages on my kindle. I’m a fast reader and it took me less than an hour to finish it.
If my great niece were a little older, I’d be all over these for her.
They’ll be around:) My youngest niece or nephew just turned 19. No little ones to buy them for. I just love to go back to those younger days and have some fun:)
Very cute!
They sure are!
That’s hilarious!!! I did not know that zombies like tomatoes. LOL
I didn’t either! Had to add that in:)
Great teasers! A couple of bright covered books, hope you enjoyed them!
Thanx for visiting my TT
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
I did enjoy them and the covers are so fun:)
Haha zombies! Very nice 😛
Gotta love them!
The only zombie books I’ve read are kind of funny books. I really don’t like zombies, but when they are funny, that’s a whole new outlook! Lots of love, Emily
You’d like these Emily. They’re cute and funny:)
The first teaser is a bit creepy! Well, actually, both of them are! Great picks! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
