Rather rude and Fantastically funny...

If there's one thing sure to get your youngsters giggling, it's the prospect of reading a book all about bottoms! Jeanne Willis and Adam Stower join forces to create one of the most amusing and slightly embarrassing children's books you will see this year - quite possibly the most riotously and outrageously funny books you may ever see in fact.

You see, bottoms are in, my friend, and they are not to be hidden away in nappies or pants - indeed, this is call to free the bottoms! Marching along in lyrical verse are all the many reasons why one should not cover up our booties - for example: "Do kittens wear knickers? Do bunnies wear bloomers? Do calves put on bras to disguise their bazoomers?" This is laugh-out-loud fun to the highest degree - or lowest level, given the subject matter...

Stower's illustrations are a wonderful medley of colour, with various animal on display wearing some form of pants or knickers (amazing how many different types there are) - my favourite by far being the bullock who looks reminiscent of James Dean, looking altogether out of sorts in his blue breeches sporting blue love hearts.

I'm not sure how I feel about the bare backsides on show at the end, but then the whole point of the book is that a bare bottom is a happy bottom - not sure we could get away with that sentiment as grownups though! Bottoms Up is truly entertaining and certainly a very different book that your child is sure to remember and will certainly be asking for again and again.
