When a Moose Has a Mustache
Illustrated by Sam Caldwell

What happens when a moose—and other animals—have a mustache?

“When a bear has a mustache, it straightens when he growls.”

“When a coyote has a mustache, it droops down when he prowls.”

This oversized board book with gatefolds is a silly story of forest animals sporting different mustaches. Kids will love to see the anthropomorphized animals, including a moose with a hiking stick, a toad with a fishing pole, a coyote catching fireflies in a jar, and a mouse roasting marshmallows over the campfire. Sam Caldwell’s playful, stylized, and vibrant illustrations bring the characters and humor to life.

Another delightful BabyLit alphabet board book featuring Greg Paprocki’s classically retro mid-century art style that’s proven to be a hit with both young children and adults.
