David Horvath and his wife and Uglydoll co-creator, Sun-Min, have recently become parents, so they’ll have to wait a couple of years to kid-test Horvath’s very cool-looking first picture book, a kind of Richard Scarry for the Bugaboo set. The ego-driven, superman-king protagonist is so bossy he yells at “don’t walk” lights; we trust you know someone like this, perhaps even a small human who calls your apartment home. Here’s to books with applicable morals.
