When this book came in the mail, Mustaches for Maddie by Chad Morris and Shelly Brown, I handed it right over to my daughter becuase I knew she would LOVE It, plus her name is Maddie so I knew she would love! This story is based on a true story and is a great read for any age!
Mustaches for Maddie Review:
I thought Mustaches for Maddie was a really cool book! Maddie has a fun imagination that is shown though out the book. I was always laughing at the funny things that she came up with to do and the way her friends reacted. I would definitely recommend this book. It taught me about how sometimes things might not last forever so we need to appreciate them while they do last. Also that kindness to other can help you see sides of them that you never knew about. One of my favorite parts of the book was when they were rehearsing for their school play and Maddie decides that she doesn’t like the ending of Romeo and Juliet, so she and Romeo re-write it! Mustaches for Maddie was a really fun book and I could totally relate to Maddie, maybe because my name is Maddie!!
