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's debut picture book, the equally silly, stylish and timely Vote for Me!, was published in 2012 to critical acclaim. He is the illustrator of the Jasper John Dooley series by Caroline Adderson and the illustrator of Max Has a Fish by Wiley Blevins. He has upcoming picture books with Candlewick and Walker Books for Young Readers. Ben and his facial hair reside happily in Boston, Massachusetts, with his wife and three furry friends. The author lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
PreS-Gr 2-The title page states that the artwork in this book was "rendered in watercolor and ink using a mustache as a brush." Based on Clanton's zany characters, this is no doubt true. Hero Mo looks like an upside-down yellow sock with antelope horns and a starred tail. He is an unwilling trendsetter. When he dons a huge black mustache, every creature around exclaims approval, then acquires a mustache of its own. When imitation again ensues after Mo's scarf innovation, he loses his temper. The other monsters explain that it's all done out of admiration for his sense of style. Wise Mo replies, "I think you're stylish too," and organizes a fashion show where each creature struts its own creative stuff with hats, socks, a tutu, or, in invisible Imp's case, nudity. Of course, Mo is the star with his scarf, mustache, and rainbow Afro (vintage 1970). Huzzah! Laugh-aloud funny, Clanton's story also offers a way to begin discussing individuality or peer pressure.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VAα(c) Copyright 2013.
