And so begins the masterful and hilarious The Butt Book, by Artie Bennett, illustrated by Mike Lester. Let's face it, few things are funnier to a little kid (and those of us who are young at heart) than butts.
[don't miss a fun giveaway after the jump] Bennett has channeled Dr. Suess to create a picture book that sings the praises of this particular piece of anatomy in perfect bouncy rhymes. Even my 10-year-old son, who has outgrown picture books (but not butt humor) cracked up from the first page to the last.
I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes books like this are actually a great transition for the new reader. The words are simple, the rhymes make reading a little easier, and the topic is irresistible. I guess that's why I give this book two bums up. Ha. --Betsy
