Book Description

“On target. The lively and slick cartoons, done in scratchboard and watercolor, suit the subject matter.”--School Library Journal

"It’s energetic, amusing, and yet largely tasteful, and the verse is reliably and rewardingly silly. Goofily drafted scratchboard figures, with a geometric regularity to the hatchwork that suggests linocuts, are tinted with softly regular shades that emphasize flesh tones and fanciful animal hues. Uses this for revving up the silliness anytime, or for bringing a health and anatomy lesson to a satisfyingly comic end.”—BCCB

“A genial red-haired boy with an enquiring mind guides us through this good-natured hymn of praise to rear ends in all their variety. There are plenty of laughs here and not a single snigger as the matter-of-fact tone keeps the momentum moving right along.”—The Horn Book
