Overview

Book 5 in the series. Recommended for children 3 to 8 years old. Mister Mustache loves to cook, especially breakfast foods. Today he is making blueberry pancakes, with his pets Gumdrop the cat and Marshmallow the guinea pig helping out! Silly Mister Mustache is a kind man who makes a lot of mistakes that youngsters can easily identify and interactively correct. The narrative is wholesome and brief (suitable for early-stage readers), and brightly colored illustrations are found on every page. Children will enjoy the rhythm of the story and studying the many details in each personality-infused picture. They will also LOVE laughing at Mister Mustache's obvious mistakes and being the ones (instead of grownups, for a change) to get things right! While each book in the series may be read in any order, the stories do build on characters introduced in prior ones.The Madcap Mishaps of Mister Mustache Series""The Madcap Mishaps of Mister Mustache"" children's book series is based on a character created more than a dozen years ago by a grandmother for her young granddaughter. Mister Mustache was intended to be a kind but absent-minded fellow who would often do ordinary things in the wrong way, giving her young listener an opportunity to laugh at his silly antics and interactively instruct him on how he should properly do things instead.All those years ago, the stories were recited aloud at bedtime, with no written materials or pictures of any kind-just the imaginations of the grandmother inventing them and the little girl absorbing them.Now Mister Mustache and a slate of precious supporting characters have been brought to life by a talented artist in books filled with colorful illustrations and humorous details perfectly designed for studying as each story unfolds.While the stories in our series can be read on a ""one-up"" basis or out of order (in other words, they are not dependent on one another for youngsters to understand them), we have made it a point to include recurring characters whose personalities and relationships emerge and evolve over time. We believe children will enjoy seeing Gumdrop the cat, Fred the duck, Mister Mustache's twin nieces, and other characters on a repeating basis. For that reason, we do recommend starting with Book 1 and progressing through the series from there.Simply put, the aim of our books is threefold: 1) to use silliness to empower kids to be the ones who ""know better"" than adults for a change; 2) to foster caring, helpfulness, and good manners; and 3) and to ensure a Mister Mustache story always delivers a light-hearted, amusing reading, listening, and viewing experience (for children and adults alike).We understand that at the end of a long day, grownups are grateful for stories without extensive narrative; and we know children will study the details in colorful, captivating illustrations over and over again. Therefore, our stories are lively and engaging, a lot of fun and a little bit educational, comforting in their familiarity, and never frightening to a young audience.In short, our books are ""funny bedtime stories they'll love going to bed for.""
