Fans of Taro Gomi’s Everyone Poops and Matthew Van Fleet’s Tails will be over the moon for this adorable book about beautiful animal bottoms.All bottoms are wonderful! Don’t you agree? Each animal in this adorable book has a different reason for loving their behind–from cute and round to fashionable and striped. Maki Saito makes readers laugh out loud with playful illustrations of the backsides of hippos, zebras, pandas, mandrills, and more. Her traditional Japanese art techniques add a sophisticated, beautiful feel. Charming and whimsical, this book encourages self-love and body positivity, as well as a whole lot of laughter and fun.
I don't love that this book is about bottoms...I wouldn't really say it's humorous (beyond that it's looking at bottoms—and even then, it depends on your humor). But the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! It's an interesting take on looking at the differences of animals, and I did appreciate that it was all positive ("everyone's proud of their bottoms!").
I'm not normally a fan of anything related to potty humor, and the text was just so-so for me on this one . . . but I'm surprised to say that with Saito's illustrations they somehow do become truly beautiful bottoms.
Nothing yet! Let Maki Saito know that you want to hear from them about their book.
