 BUYING ADVISORY:, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

As a child walks to school with their dad, they question "which things do and don't have butts?" 

Wilder's rhyming text isn't educational, it's used to point out the silly illustrations of butts on things that don't actually have butts. AJ and I read it together - it's silly for sure. The end papers at the beginning are normal things like a boot, a plant, a park bench etc. At the end, all these things have butts. Much like the rest of the book - things like frogs butts, tree knots are turned into butts and other crazy stuff.  Kids who like that sort of thing will get a good laugh from all the funny butt depictions, other kids might feel awkward.
