<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> When Baby Billy is born with a mustache, his parents have to figure out if it's a good-guy mustache or a bad-guy mustache in this hilarious board book about the heroic and villainous side of one hairy baby. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> When Baby Billy is born with a mustache, his family takes it in stride. They are reassured when he nobly saves the day in imaginary-play sessions as a cowboy or cop and his mustache looks good-guy great. But as time passes, their worst fears are confirmed when little Billy's mustache starts to curl up at the ends in a suspiciously villainous fashion. Sure enough, "Billy's disreputable mustache led him into a life of dreadful crime." Plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor and cartoonish illustrations make this sturdy board book the perfect baby gift for a dad with a mustache--or a sense of humor! <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Occasional badness has never been so good.<br><b>--</b><i><b>Kirkus <p/></b></i>The book's oddball sense of humor is unflagging.<br><b>--</b><i><b>Publishers Weekly <p/></b></i>A mustached baby will surely make audiences howl during read-alouds.<br><b>--</b><i><b>Booklist Online <p/></b></i>You never know what you'll get in the delivery room, and something isn't quite right with this new baby. . . .
