Convrrsation starter
My little ones think it’s very funny, but some of the suggestions go too far. The book caused some conversation, which was nice.

Funny kids book
My 4 year old loves it, we both get a laugh. If you’re upset by this book then you probably don’t understand kids humor.

Cheeky Book
My nephew loves this book. It’s funny and bit cheeky, it’s his favorite book to read. Would I let him take this to a show and tell? No, but it’s a silly at home read.

Pizza! pizza!
There’s a grown mad painting on a child’s butt in this book. Hmm. Immorality for innocent babies.

An amusing topic for young children!
Just a silly story that will entertain young children as they become aware of their own bodies.
