hail to the 'stache
By Storywraps
This fun, interactive book will have your kids mixing and matching press-out, cardboard moustaches onto icon faces all the while learning "opposite" words. "Moustache UP and moustache DOWN/Which 'stache covers up a frown?" The wonderful, vintage colour pallet and retro cartoon images of different types of men wearing a moustache is awesome. The rhyming words united with the pictures give direction to the reader so they will know where to correctly place the 'staches. You don't have to follow the book rules though....you can go totally crazy and creative and design your own guy, which is cool. On some of the moustache's backs are printed opposite words like: straight, curly, smooth, rough etc. Vocabulary building is always welcome to your child's reading experiences. When the match game is complete you can collect all your little styled hairy caterpillars and place them in a reusable envelope that is found inside the front cover of the book. (Brilliant idea) Both you and your child will love this playful book and it will give you lots of inspiration as to how you too can create the moustache of your dreams and then go forth and conquer your world. Hail to the moustache!

Content very good, presentation lacking.
By Dyojii
I bought this book based on amazon rankings and really loved the idea of a hands on hard covered baby book. My objections are:1. This is a hard baby book with thick pages, designed so a baby could handle it often without harm to the book. However, the hands-on features, the mustaches are thin. No baby could handle it. If it is to last more than one reading, the baby must not touch the mustaches, not even mentioning the fact that they could be swallowed.2. The colors are dull and unexciting. This is apparent from the photos and I overlooked that if favor of the hands on quality.3. The book is printed on heavy cardboard as are most baby books. However, there is no shiny coating adhering to the cardboard. If a baby were to put it in her mouth. the saliva and chewing will quickly start to disintegrate the cover causing a choking potential. It seems like the publisher opted for lower manufacturing costs as opposed to safety.The idea is still good but a baby book should be safer. DO NOT leave this book in the crib or playpen. It is strictly a mommy-and-me ONLY book.I still like the concept of the book but not the book itself.

I think this book is going to be great for our two year old grandson as soon as I laminate the mustaches. Because some are 'thin' and 'fat'; 'short' and 'tall' it stands to reason that they have to be what they say they are so I am going to laminate them to get the littler ones to last a little longer. Our grandson is really into opposites right now so he is going to love manipulating these...I do already. I kept the 'punch-out' cards so if I lose a mustache or one gets too damaged I can use the 'punch-out' as a 'stencil' to make another one out of card stock.
