"Sitting down would NOT be cushy
if you didn't have your tushy!"
Oh boy, what fun with rhyme this book will be...an homage to the 'tush' which will have kids rolling their eyes, covering their mouths and laughing time and time again. As you must know we are blessed to boast a tush...I mean, how else would we keep our underwear up?
Just the mention of the word 'tush' will send some into gales of laughter as books about anatomy often do. When they join in the reading, you can bet the first word they will recognize (it's written so many times) is TUSHY! Just repeating it will create hilarity. There are so many variations on the word that kids will remain interested throughout. Try reading it with a class of young kids, and you may not be able to finish. The text gives licence to 'voice' the narrator with small groups, your young children, your grandchildren.
It is all so endearing that even those aghast at such language in books for the young will find it hard to resist. The illustrations are filled with images of animals, people and 'bums', all of which offer opportunities for talk. It isn't a bedtime story so don't be tempted to share it when you are wanting youngsters to settle. Rather, be prepared for plenty of action and repeated readings. What fun!
