About the book...
Everyone’s favorite character from I Need a New Butt!, I Broke My Butt!, and My Butt is So Noisy! is back in a hilarious new story about a silly butt that won’t stop moving! The talented duo of children’s author Dawn McMillan and illustrator Ross Kinnaird have created another delightful, laugh-out-loud tale of a bothersome backside that leads to all kinds of amusing adventures. The fun never stops, from the first page to the last of this newest book in the best-selling series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a story that I had a hard time getting...in more ways than one...BUTT once I ruminated a little more, and found the heart through the humor, I CRACKed a smile. I must apologize in advance because yes, there will be behind jokes in this review, BUTT how can I resist?
The young boy with the overactive behind never has a name, but I think that just makes it easier for wee ones to step right into the role of main character. The words on the page tell of his overactive derrière as he makes his way through life. School is that much more MUSICAL. Home is that much more BUTT-iful. A rainy day in the park is just that much more a-BUTT-andantly splishy and splashy. The main gist...he's a ram-BUTT-tious young man that can't quite remain still when the situation calls for it. It's something seen often with kids...and admit it, adults too...because sometimes we just feel that need to move, groove, and make our presence known. It's a curious way to get the point across to the younger generation, BUTT...if it works, it works! What IS that message? Well, the one I took from it was that while you should always be you, silly BUTT or not, there are some times, some places where decorum and manners must rule...and then when those have PASSED, they'll still be plenty of time and ways to let your true color fly!
