Mo is a monster who just got a mustache. A big, black, beautiful mustache. Everybody likes Mo's mustache. Now Knot, Dot, Nib, Tutu, Bob, Bill and Ben all have mustaches too. In fact, soon EVERYBODY has a mustache! Why is everyone copying Mo? And how will he (and his mustache) ever stand out?

A wonderfully silly book about style and individuality, sure to grow on readers who don't have facial hair -- and even those who do!
BEN CLANTON is the New York Times–bestselling author and illustrator of the Narwhal and Jelly series whose picture books include the Ploof series (with Andy Chou Musser) and the Tater Tales series. He lives with his wife and kids in Seattle, Washington. View titles by Ben Clanton
PRAISE FOR Mo's Mustache:

NPR's Book Concierge's Guide to 2013's Great Reads

"Monster + mustache = 'Huzzah!' With a soupçon of cool.... The half text/ half speech-bubble narrative will engage storytime audiences and lapsitters with a minimum of inflection on the reader's part. Requests for repeats are a certainty, and small ones will learn a lesson about individuality while enjoying this delightfully fun monster tale. Mo's mustache? Magnifique!" - Starred review, Kirkus Reviews

"Huzzah! Laugh-aloud funny, Clanton's story also offers a way to begin discussing individuality or peer pressure." - School Library Journal
