A ridiculous premise (baby born with mustache!) made even more ridiculous by the drama that ensues (is it a good-guy mustache or a bad-guy mustache?!). A good, silly book for ages 5 to 7. ( )

This is a very silly book I read it to the kids I was babysitting and they loved it so much and could not stop laughing. Though I feel it was sending a message that you’re bad or good based off of the way you look.

It's hilarious picture book day. ( )

Hi-FREAKING-larious.

Heos, B. (2013). Mustache Baby. New York, NY: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

This book is about a baby named Billy who is born with a mustache. He is told he can be either a good guy mustache or a bad guy mustache and at first, he does all kinds of good deeds until one morning he wakes up with a bad guy mustache and then does a bunch of bad things.

This story was very cute. The text is full of simple sentences and a small amount of dialogue. The font is cute and reminds me of Disney. The plot is simple but follows a logical beginning, middle, and end, and ends with a satisfying conclusion that Billy can choose what kind of mustache he wants to be, but that it's okay if sometimes it's a bad mustache.

The illustrations are adorable, realistic, and very colorful and pair well with the text.

I would recommend this to parents to read to their children and teach them about good and bad and how everyone can be a little of both sometimes. ( )
