About the Author

David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim met and fell in love while studying at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. When Sun-Min moved back to Korea, the couple maintained a long-distance relationship by writing each other letters, on which David began drawing little ugly creatures. Sun-Min surprised David by sewing a plush version of one of his characters as a Christmas gift, and the Uglydolls were born! Several years and many dolls later, they are happily married and live in Los Angeles.

If you like the character descriptions of the uglydolls you'll definitely love this item.
Any Uglydoll fan will be satisfied with this little book since it contains funny bits from most of the dolls available as of Jun-2008.
For those who don't know the Uglydolls I would recommend it too: It is fun, entertaining and cute, pretty colorful and well done too!

WONDERFUL and very very funny! A book for children AND adults :-). David and Sun-Min express their wittiness in their fabulous and very detailed drawings. Humor you can chew and think on--you find new things every time you go back to the Guides. A delight to the eye for Uglydoll fans and people who just want plain fun! C'mon, wouldn't you like a Tako cone? :-D

Highly recommended. We bought 3 copies of each guide!

My nine-year-old son likes this, and I do too. I was afraid it would be like Captain Underpants, but it's more like Richard Scarry. It inspired me to pull out Busy Busy World from where I was hiding it due to political incorrectness.
