BATTLE OF THE BUTTS: THE SCIENCE BEHIND ANIMAL BEHINDS
by Jocelyn Rish

– Nonfiction Picture Books

If you have kids who enjoy potty humor, then have I got the books for you! We picked these up at the same time and it made for a combination that had the whole family dying with laughter.

Did you know that some animals disguise their rumps? Or that manatees control their buoyancy with flatulence? If they want to move up in the water, they hold it in, and if they want to sink, they let it rip!

Here are snippets of the official BOOK PROMOs:

*****
✒ Butt or Face? offers kids a delightfully cheeky challenge: examine a close-up photo of an animal, and then guess whether you’re looking at the top or the…um…bottom. The answer is revealed on the next page with a complete photo of the animal! Readers will discover animals like the Cuyaba dwarf frog whose backside looks like a pair of eyes, the Mary River turtle that breathes through its butt, and many more!

✒ Battle of the Butts
Butts are used for breathing, eating, swimming, talking, and even killing in the animal kingdom. Focusing on ten different animals and their derrières, and offering fun facts about their origin, habitat, and “posterior power,” this hilarious book captures the wonder of our ecosystem. Which animal has the coolest butt power? That’s up to you to decide!
*****
Humorous nonfiction like this is the perfect way to learn about the amazing world around us. And there’s nothing like unique animals and their surprising abilities to give a book instant kid appeal!

Snuggle up with these books and prepare to giggle. 🤣

Happy reading! 📚
