Plants vs. Zombies: Official Guide to Protecting your Brains by Simon Swatman –NO

Swatman, Simon Plants vs. Zombies: Official Guide to Protecting your Brains 176 pgs. HarperFestival, 2013. $7.99.  Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
A companion book to the popular game, this book features advice on how to deal with zombies, an extensive detailed list of every type of zombie, as well as detailed pages featuring information about the plants from the game. The illustrations are bright, colorful and engaging. The text variety is interesting and fun to read.
This book would be a hit with students who love the game Plants Vs. Zombies. I know zombies are popular but this one isn't going to work without knowledge of the game. Is the game popular with your students? I say give it as a holiday gift to a child who loves this game, but don’t add it to your school collection.
