Moosetache by Margie Palatini (illustrated by Henry Cole) is a great story for early elementary grades. This book is about a moose with an unmanageable mustache, or moosetache as it is called in the book. He couldn't do his daily activities because of his excessively long mustache. He attempts to tame the mustache in many comical ways. He finally meets a female moose that has the same problem, a huge moosetache. She has made her mustache into a bouffant. She transforms his moostache into a bouffant, eliminating the hassle of the large mustache. The book has a very happy ending complete with a married moose couple, free of large moosetaches.
This book would really be appropriate for kindergarten or 1st grade. It has large illustrations with small amounts of text on each page. The text often wraps around the pictures, illustrating radical change. This book would be great to read aloud to students. I think the children would enjoy the large and dynamic illustrations and the crazy cute story of the moosetache!
