The zany humor of Aaron Reynolds meets some serious facial hair in this competition for the title of finest mustache in the land!
When a mustachioed rabbit spots a mustache contest, he's sure he has the competition beat. That is, until a pesky frog hops up with his own fine mustache. And a duck waddles up with a...duckstache? Soon, the competition is full of moosestaches and mousestaches, whalestaches and tailstaches--and every kind of 'stache in between.
Readers will love following this simple tale of hirsute havoc with a laugh-out-loud twist ending. Plus, there's a fun guide at the end to every kind of mustache imaginable!

Kirkus Book Review
It's a whiskers-off in the animal kingdom. The walruses are holding a mustache contest, and animals of many species sign up to show off their crumb-catchers. First come the judges (all walruses) and spectators, then the contestants, beginning with a rabbit with an impressive lip rug. A frog hops up to compare its pushbroom…followed by a mallard with a pencil-thin handlebar "duckstache." When a penguin in a top hat shows off some pretty impressive lip luggage, the crowd--with fake mustaches on sticks and big foam mustaches--goes wild. Snake sports a "musssstache," and the mice their "mousestaches." There is a "moooostache" and a "meowstache" and a "moosestache." Whales, skunks, a giraffe, a snail, and more show off their facial hair. Bear causes a stir with a "beard" that seems to be the front-runner if excitement in the crowd is any indication. But last to arrive is a sporty "goatee" for the win. The Youngs' debut picture book is short on text (it is conveyed entirely in speech bubbles containing plays on the word mustache) but long on foolishness. The cartoon illustrations (a mix of spot and full bleed) will incite giggles as the animals compare their nose-bugs while trying to out-whisker one another. (This book was reviewed digitally with 8.8-by-22-inch double-page spreads viewed at 29.4% of actual size.) Good hairy fun.
