"Quirky, fun, moustache-filled-to-overflowing picture book."
April 2026 Picture Book of the Month
Absolutely everything in this quirky, endlessly pore-over-able picture book is sprouting a moustache, starting with our heroes, a mouse and a moose, aka Mousestache and Moosestache.
As they travel through the pages they encounter duckstaches, cluckstaches, stuck-inside truckstaches, grandfather clockstaches, migrating flockstaches, even (my favourite) tropical fruitstaches, some strumming lutestaches.
Every turn of the page brings another surprising and cleverly composed scene, Rowboat Watkins’ soft-toned pen and pencil illustrations somehow giving the whole business a sense of normality no matter how absurd (very!) the actual action, while the text is a surreal delight to read aloud: ‘passenger trainstaches, wee drops of rainstaches’ – yes please!
One of the quirkiest, most original and fascinating picture books of the year.
From the wild imagination of Rowboat Watkins, author of Rude Cakes and Go-Go Guys, comes a riotous read-aloud about every kind of mustache imaginable!
