Summer Reading Program: Villains

I didn't give the program again today (I hate missing so many of these this summer!) but we had a repeat of Mustache! and then two more, and made silly mustaches!

Mustache!
Reviewed this morning.


School for Bandits
Hannah Shaw
ISBN: 9780375967689
Ralph Raccoon is not very good at being bad, but he finds success in his own way.

Ralph was a nice raccoon: he had manners, brushed his teeth, and generally was good.  His parents sent him off to the School for Bandits to learn how to be bad, but he failed all his classes.  His only hope is to get a giant bag of loot for the end-of-year Bandit Contest, but how is he going to manage that with no badness at all?  Clever lesson, and cute enough to be funny.



Mustache Baby
Bridget Heos, illustrated by Joy Ang
ISBN: 9780547773575
Baby born with mustache becomes whatever stereotype matches his mustache shape.

Billy was born with a mustache, but that wasn't the weird part.  The weird part was that he took on the qualities of the mustache as it grew and changed, becoming everything from a cowboy to a spanish painter to a sword-fighter to a policeman.  Until... the mustache became a Bad Guy Mustache.  Billy starts down a bad path that very day, and ends up in jail (his crib).  Second chances are for everyone, and he finally gets released, just in time for a playdate with another baby; this one with a hipster mountain-man beard!
