From the publisher

When Baby Javier comes for a playdate, Baby Billy, a.k.a. Mustache Baby, feels the need to show him a thing or two, seeing how Javier’s new to town—and also sports an impressive beard. What ensues is a hilarious test of wills and facial hair, as each baby sets out to prove his manliness. It seems Mustache Baby may have truly met his match . . . but one-upmanship isn’t the point of a playdate, is it?

“Funny story about two babies. They, like other children rival to be the best, and when it doesn't work out like they want it to, the worst seems to come out in each of them. Finally, however, they realize that working together is much better than being the best. It also has some fun cowboy jargon the parents will enjoy.”
