I haven't written about any picture books in a while and there's one we've been reading quite a bit around here that's pretty cute. Zombie in Love by Kelly DiPucchio is both funny and rather sweet. And I love the illustrations by Scott Campbell; they fit nicely with the text.
It is the story of Mortimer, a zombie, who is looking for love. All his attempts to woo the ladies only scare them. (To the right is Mortimer trying to give a waitress a ring that is wrapped around a dead finger.) My boys and I laughed the first time we read it. We've read it several dozen times since then and still find the book charming.
