The Children’s Book Review
What to Expect: Silliness, rhyming, body acceptance
The “Butt Series” is truly a laugh-out-loud series of books revolving around a young boy and his behind. Dawn McMillian uses rhyme to craft humorous tales, which are not only funny but feel fun to read aloud. Ross Kinnard’s bright illustrations and strong use of color highlight the riotous adventure. These books do a great job of spanning the ages of interested readers.
