Illustrated by
Mike Lester.
In this good-natured hymn of praise, matter-of-fact rhyming couplets cover butt synonyms, characteristics, and raison d'être, as watercolor and scratchboard illustrations place us in scenes from art galleries to ancient Egypt to a fair. The text includes a few nods to natural history or international terms, but the major point seems to be that butts make the whole world one.
