How to Trap a Zombie is a book that teachers and librarians who work with tweens will want to have. The crafts and activities included can easily be adapted into a program.
The way to book is written, it reads as though it's a guide for young wizards who are wanting to hunt monsters. There is advice about monster hunting trips ranging from making traps to camping. I can see where tweens would have fun using this book and turning an every day adventure outside into a monster hunt. The More...

This book covers almost everything a young monster-hunting wizard might need to know before going out on a weekend of adventure.

This is the only book of the Dungeons & Dragons tie-ins (that I've read, at least) that has any relevance for non D&D fans.

My children loved using this book. We entered the fantasy world by doing crafts and cooking. They especially enjoyed their magical wands.

Thanks A.R. Rotruck for giving me the opportunity to have some wonderful interactions with my children.

Some great birthday party activities in this book! My 7 year old liked the "Zombie Infiltration" game which is sort of like "red light/green light". Definitely check this out if you need help for ideas on theme activities for a group, related to all sorts of monster themes. Perfect for halloween parties too. My husband says it reminds him of the groups who spend a weekend retreat on a Dungeons and Dragons theme.

Fun and witty - I enjoyed it as an adult reader, and I know I would have loved it as a child.
