The Day the Mustache Came Back

by Alan Katz, Kris Easler (Illustrator)

When Martin "Murray Poopins" Healey left the Wolfhardt household, all the responsible habits that David and Nathan had developed under his less-than-watchful eye went out the window. So when Myron, who is the spitting image (including the spit) of Martin, arrives on the Wolfhardt doorstep, he is instantly hired to watch Nathan and David. But Myron seems to know things that only Martin could have known, and before long Nathan and David are sure that something strange is going on with their mustachioed manny. As Myron takes them on wild adventures, the twins have their own agenda--to prove that Myron is Martin. But what if there's really a Martin and Myron, and what if they both want the nanny job? Will Nathan and David get a double dose of nannying?

Perfect for fans of Dan Gutman and Tom Angleberger, boys and girls will love the zany laugh-out-loud humor and fun illustrations found in every chapter.

This book is very funny in many ways. The author chose the right time to add a funny comment or a hilarious paragraph to make the reader laugh. The story is about two twins and a very mysterious nanny. I believe it is the second book, because it says that the two boys had a nanny looked like the one now, acts like it, but denies the question if he is the nanny the twins had before. And the nanny was right. One day, the twins' old nanny reappeared saying he wants to be their nanny again. But the new nanny appears and says that he wants to be the nanny. That's when everything was crazy. It was a race between two people. No. It was war. The two nannies both wanted to be the best nanny so they could stay with the twins. Who will be the final nanny? Or will things spin out of control?

Even my 5 yr old grandson was bored by this book. Twins, David & Nathan, had a nanny who kept them responsible with good manners, etc. He quits and his twin arrives. Too ridiculous to be funny or humorous.

I was lucky enough to win this book in the Goodreads Giveaways and I am so glad that I did!

This book was great! More humor than the first one and the ending is just amazing.

If, you read the first one, the second one is a must!
