Review

In this amusing companion to Mustache Baby, Billy (aka Monstrous Mustache Baby) meets his match! Baby Billy has a play date with Baby Javier (aka Beastly Bearded Baby). Billy is determined to show Javier that he is the best at everything and make Javier his sidekick. But Billy does not count on the fact that Javier wants to be the best at everything too. They compete over everything, including who is the best bear wrassler, who can perform the best magic trick, and who is the fastest in a motorcycle (tricycle) race. Will frustration ruin their friendship or can they learn to get along. Ang's clever, bright, over-the-top, cartoon illustrations make a perfect partnership with Heos' witty text.

A great addition to to a friendship themed storytime, recommended for pre-k to 2nd grade.

Overall Book Score: very good
