Celebrate Halloween with the dino-zombies as they stomp and chomp through the streets on their quest for candy!

Dino-zombies--that's right, real dinosaur zombies--are on the hunt. But don't worry, there's no need to be scared. Just join the creepy crew as they trick-or-treat to collect and consume all the candy they can!

Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.
PRAISE FOR DINO-ZOMBIES!

"The combination of spare text, chunky font, and playfully spooky critters with yellow glowing eyes make this a treat for early readers stimulated by the sugary holiday’s fun." —Publishers Weekly
Growing up, Rick Chrustowski (he/him) drew all the time. He drew on the floor of his room, in front of the TV, and at the kitchen table. In second grade, his parents gave him a drawing table, which he has used ever since. When Rick learned how to write stories in third grade, he realized that putting words and pictures together was his favorite art form. Rick has written and illustrated several picture books about the natural world, including Bright Beetle, Big Brown Bat, Turtle Crossing, and My Little Fox. Now he is focused on the not-so-natural world with his creepy but lovable characters in Dino-Zombies! When Rick is not making books, he travels across the country visiting schools and helping kids write and illustrate their own books. He lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
