Praise For Mo's Mustache…

“Huzzah! Laugh-aloud funny, Clanton’s story also offers a way to begin discussing individuality or peer pressure.”
— School Library Journal

"If you're looking for books to include in a Movember display, don't miss Mo's Mustache. . . . It's a simple, cute book about individuality elevated by Ben Clanton's watercolor and ink illustrations. Mo, with his big nose, double horns, and spiky tail, is particularly cute."
—PartnersWest

“Monster + mustache = ‘Huzzah!’ With a soupçon of cool . . . Requests for repeats are a certainty, and small ones will learn a lesson about individuality while enjoying this delightfully fun monster tale. Mo’s mustache? Magnifique!”
—Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
