Moustache Up! A Playful Game of Opposites

Kimberly Ainsworth, illus. by Daniel Roode. S&S/Little Simon, $7.99 (16p) ISBN 978-1-4424-7526-7

Different mustache styles can do more than just express one’s individuality: they can demonstrate opposites, too. Twelve cardboard mustaches—thin and wide, straight and curly—are packaged with the book and can be inserted into slots in a guessing game for readers: “Moustache up and moustache down./ Which ’stache covers up a frown?” Roode’s wiry illustrations reveal weightlifters and pirates, businessmen and dour gents, adding to the book’s hipster vibe. Ages 3–5. (July)
