About the book...
This delightful rhyming story follows our inventive young hero as he dreams about dressing up his plain backside in something festive “with layers and layers of green, with baubles that glow, bows in a row, and a star where it’s easily seen!” Will he get his wish? Kids will find out as they giggle all the way through this sweet holiday story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, we're BACK with another BUTT-iful title to review, and what a title it is! We first met, or rather I first met, our unnamed little leading man in a Silly book, once upon a time. Now, we gather once again at Christmas time, BUTT something doesn't feel quite right. Is it the decorations? Not exactly. Is it the temperature? Nope, Mother Nature is doing her thing. Is it the family gathered round for the holiday celebration? Pretty sure it's not. Is it the roaring fire, comfy armchair, or hot cocoa waiting for us to indulge in? Nope, nope, and nope. As it turns out, it's his BUTT that doesn't seem to be in the holiday spirit. So, he sets out to change that...with rather humorous attempts, and de-LIGHT-ful results!
Those results are joyous by twofold. First, the story circles back around to the real meaning of Christmas, in a non-secular way, reminding us that it's a time of year for being with family and friends, and not focusing solely on ourselves. The second...always a little boy with a rather unusual behind to radiantly share his Christmassy BUTT with the world come Christmas morning...but I'll let you discover just how it's done.
Definitely geared towards the younger set, and I'd wager a particularly popular choice with young lads as well, this holiday season make sure you catch the feeling...with every part!
