Illustrated by
Dan Santat.
From the cockatoo's "feathered booty" to "a caboose for every moose," animal heinies at the zoo are commonplace. But one young (human) visitor causes a stir when he bares his bottom. The cheeky rhymed text, which incorporates over a dozen synonyms for the posterior, and restrained (but still funny) retro-style illustrations reinforce this subject's unending kid appeal.
