knows that it doesn't have to be Halloween to play dress up. She
can wear a mustache whenever she wants! She can wear one while
she's watching a movie, or riding her bike, or playing her
favourite game. So when Leah's birthday finally arrives, she knows
exactly what she wants to do: have a party where everyone must wear
a mustache! At Leah's mustache party, everyone gets in on the
dress-up fun, even Grandma!
