review 1: Once again, I look at the other reviews and think, "lighten up".Okay, so this is a book about butts. Chicken butts, bear butts, deer derrieres, etc. A clever bear assembles a rather peculiar totem pole to help him reach a high honeycomb. Each animal has no choice but to stare at the bum above him, all to disastrous results.I thought it was funny, as a lot of kids get to an age where butts are the funniest taboos. I know a kid who made it her business to poke people in the butt whenever she saw them at age 4, and would practically pee herself in giggles afterwards. For families, or classrooms, or storytime groups, with that sense of humor, this is a perfect little gigglefest.
review 2: I remember really liking this when I first read it--upon re-reading it's... more less exciting to me. I mean, it's silly and ridiculous, kids will love it, and the illustrations are great, but there's just not a lot here. I'm starting to really look for the story in picture books and stories that will enthrall a story time, and while this one will make everyone laugh, it's pretty light on the substance that makes for a great book. It's enjoyable and silly, and I did like it it, but I didn't love it. less
