Overview
“Loved this book. Zany fun. But since it’s George Romero, there’s a touch of evil behind it all!” —R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street When everything is easily crushable under well-meaning feet, how can a Humongo ever fit in in such a little world? From the creator of Night of the Living Dead and the zombie movement that permeates our culture today, comes a sarcastic and cynical children's tale of different creatures trying to coexist in a benign, yet power-hungry environment. In line with Antoine de Saint-Exupery's Little Prince, The Little World of Humongo Bongo is a beautiful metaphor on the evolution of our civilization, depicted with humour and simplicity. Featuring illustrations by Romero himself, welcome to a zany little world captured by the lens of one of the world's visionary film creators. With a foreword by Tony Timpone.

Reviews
What's this? The late George A. Romero, director of the classic horror film Night of the Living Dead, wrote a children's book? Yes, he did, and it's every bit as eccentric as you might imagine. . . . Call it a fable or a parable or an allegory, Romero's simple-seeming story is rife with subtexts dealing with such real-world problems as overpopulation, territorial imperative, intolerance, and more. Share it with the kids for its story, but enjoy it yourself for its broader meanings. --Booklist
