“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.”

“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!").”
