The Butt Book Review & *Giveaway*

The Butt Book by Artie Bennett

About The Book:
Make way for the butt! Tall butts, short butts, round butts, flat butts. Butts on mummies and butts on mommies. Butts on giraffes and elephants and dogs and… fish? Yes, even fish butts are celebrated in this tribute to backsides, rumps, tushies, keisters, heinies, and derrieres. Dozens of funny rhymes and pages of laugh-out-loud pictures pay homage to a body part that keeps kids and grown-ups giggling with glee. Bottoms up!

My Thoughts:
I loved this book! I read it to myself before I read it to the kids, and I laughed out loud. Jason even came in to the room and said, "What are you laughing at in here?" What a great book! Callan got the biggest kick out of it. Of course, for two days after we read it, he walked around sticking his booty out and yelling "This is my butt! This is my butt!" Silly. But the book is really great. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

About the Author:
Artie Bennett is the executive copy editor for Random House Children's Books and he writes a little on the side (but not on the backside!). He's the co-author of 101 Ways to Say Vomit, for those who enjoy a good "gag," and the author of The Dinosaur Joke Book: A Compendium of Pre-Hysteric Puns. He enjoys the three B's: birdwatching, botanizing, and bike riding. He's been butt-besotted since stumbling upon the word "callipygian" at age three. He lives with his wife, Leah, in the bowels of Brooklyn.
