Let’s just say it might be a most popular title with a certain age-level of child out there. Justifiably so. – School Library Journal. A Fuse 8 Production. Most of the book highlights the importance of glutes in the animal kingdom, especially how they incorporate the senses, from the mandrills’ red behinds, which help them stick together in the jungle, to the herrings’ ultrasonic farts (a sound only they can hear), which help orient them into groups. At the heart of the book, however, is body positivity, emphasized through a range of butt sizes and shapes. – Booklist Urberuaga’s artwork excels at portraying the animals in gorgeous but playful detail, complementing the playful expository language. I liked learning about the function of various posterior body parts in animals. – Youth Services Book Review Expressive, anthropomorphized butts of different colors serve as guides throughout this big book of butt facts.
