butt? Find out in this quirky tale of a tail, which features hilarious rhymes
and delightful illustrations. Children and parents will love this book — no
ifs, ands, or butts about it!
Review: 5 out of 5 stars
My kids found this
book absolutely hilarious! Anything to do with bums, bottoms, butts etc. has
them giggling so when they read the first line ‘I need a new butt! mine has a
crack’ they were in hysterics.
I Need a New Butt is written in rhyme,
small amounts of text per page with a cute picture – of the little boys bottom,
he went in pursuit of answers to what could have happened to make his bottom
crack, it was quite the adventure with him imagining the different types that
he would like to fix it with.
This is a cute book
that will have your little ones laughing which is always delightful to hear, highly recommended for toddlers.
Thank you to Dover
Publications for the opportunity to read and review I Need a New Butt.
I live in an amazing place, on the Thames Coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand.
I work from a little studio in my back garden. I look out my studio window across the park to the beach. Many of my stories are about the sea, or about nature. We have the bush close by and I love to walk alongside the Waiomu Stream, right up to a grove of magnificent Kauri.
But not all my stories come from nature. I keep a watch on what’s happening around me and I listen to what people say. Sometimes a joke can give me an idea. But most of my stories come from my own experience…the happy times, the sad times, and the special people I’ve known.
You’ll see that I do a lot of readers for schools. I enjoy doing these. They’re like a story and a puzzle combined. The story is the most important part but there are lots of reading level challenges to get right too. The readers go all over the world, with some of them translated into other languages.
Come and see us sometime. Bring your swimming gear and your fishing rods. If you let me know you’re coming I’ll make you some hokey-pokey biscuits.
