Among Us



Mark Lee has written a children’s book that my soon-to-be two year-old just adores. Kurt Cyrus illustrated the book.
20 Big Trucks In The Middle Of The Street follows a young lad on a bicycle as he notices 19 trucks stuck behind a stalled ice cream truck. 

The lad of course saves the day when he suggests that the crane truck lift and move the ice cream truck so all the other trucks can go.
My little guy loves to point out items as I ask him “Where is the guitar? Where is the stroller? Where is the umbrella? Where is the balloon?”
But there’s also something else in the book. Or maybe, I should say, someone else.
It’s not good.
Here, in this idyllic, small town America, Norman Rockwellish scene…

Look closer…
 Is that...?

Gawd!...
…a Zombie!
 Who puts the walking dead in a children's book!? 
Unless...you don't think...no...the author or illustrator IS a zombie, do you!?
Maybe someone just takes the Walking Dead on AMC a little too seriously.
P.S. And why does the guy in the yellow polo shirt have bells palsy? WTF!
