Publisher's Note It's almost Cinco de Mayo, and Ricky's class is going to put on a play to celebrate the festive Mexican holiday. When asked to choose his costume, Ricky picks a big, bushy mustache, just like his dad's. With humor and tenderness, Soto evokes a warm celebration of both the beloved tradition of Cinco de Mayo and the strong bonds of love between father and son. Full color.
Industry Reviews "Even while grownups wonder how Ricky's parents got that shaved mustache to stay together so neatly, Soto's tale of joy found, lost, and found again is going to resonate with a lot of young listeners." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro
