Overview"When Baby Billy is born with a mustache, his parents have to figure out if it's a good-guy mustache or a bad-guy mustache in this hilarious oversized board book perfect for reading aloud at storytime. When Baby Billy is born with a mustache, his family takes it in stride. They are reassured when he nobly saves the day in imaginary-play sessions as a cowboy or cop and his mustache looks good-guy great. But as time passes, their worst fears are confirmed when little Billy's mustache starts to curl up at the ends in a suspiciously villainous fashion. Sure enough, ""Billy's disreputable mustache led him into a life of dreadful crime."" Plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor and cartoonish illustrations make this the perfect baby shower gift for a mustachioed father to-be.
