What They're Saying

Critics Review

★ “Young readers will absorb the positive lessons on love and differences without any interference in the narrative….Espinosa offers up a warm ode to papas of all stripes in this sweetly silly story, which is also available in Spanish (Mi papá tiene un bigote rojo).” —Booklist, starred review

“With its cool rhythm, the playful text makes for a fun read-aloud, bolstered by chuckle-worthy moments and vibrant, delightful artwork….Stache-tacularly cheerful.” —Kirkus Reviews

“As eye-catching and cheerfully idiosyncratic as Papa’s mustache, this telling bristles with comedy while turning affection with an asterisk into full-stop appreciation.” —Publishers Weekly
