Industry Reviews
Through the humorous (and slightly scandalous - at least for little ones) chapter titles, young children are drawn into this very basic explanation of how animals bodies are shaped in different ways to help them move, protect themselves, and attract the attention of other animals. Chapter headings such as 'Sticky Bums', 'Smelly Bums' and 'Exploding Bums' will have children giggling and wanting to know more...Funny Bums is a great animal reference book to have on hand for pre-school, kindergarten and infants classes... * Kids' Book Review *
This book is well written and oddly enjoyable. You'll be enlightened. * All The Buzz About Books *
[an] attractive book which should appeal to a wide age range. * Jo Goodman *
