This spectacular pop-up book from paper engineers David Hawcock and Becca Zerkin forms the perfect guide to the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Filled with eye-catchingly gory pops, the book takes the reader through some of the most iconic moments from the hugely popular series. The book features five spreads, each with its own central pop that depicts a key element from the show, such as the prison where the survivors found refuge before being attacked by the Governor or the Walker known as “Bicycle Girl” reaching out at the reader. Each spread also includes several smaller pops depicting other memorable elements from The Walking Dead, such as the Governor’s “man cave” (including his unique aquarium complete with severed heads), the Well Walker, and much, much more.

As Mr Sandman approaches and you feel the urge to head off to the Land Of Nod, what better book than a pop-up book featuring memorable scenes from The Walking Dead to send you off to, well not so much Dreamland as possibly Nightmareland?
If you love the idea of going to sleep with your hair standing on end and every bump in the night sounding like a walker stumbling into your bedroom, then you need to grab a copy of The Walking Dead: The Pop-Up Book by SD Perry (Author), Becca Zerkin (Creator), David Hawcock (Creator), Sally Elizabeth Jackson (Illustrator) which contains 5 lavishly-created doublespread pages with a lot of narrative detail to explore.
And I would wager, lots of flesh-eating nightmares to induce.
It could be one of those rare bedtime story books that you’re best reading in the cold, hard light of day with not a member of the undead to be seen, and lots of daylight to see off the unnerving sense that it’s all getting a bit too real and 3D.
As for reading it your kids, possibly best to stick to elves and fairies and dogs with clumsy coordination.
You can buy the book via Amazon and other outlets.
