I Need a New Butt!

Absolutely Bonkers and She's Obsessed!
I had a strong suspicion "I Need a New Butt!" would resonate with my 4-year-old’s sense of humor, and wow, was I right. Just reading the title sent her into fits of giggles. The premise – a kid who thinks his butt is broken and goes on an imaginative journey to find a new one (an armor-plated butt? A rocket butt?) – is exactly the kind of wonderfully absurd stuff she loves. We must have read it five times the first day.The Good Stuff (Pros):Off-the-Walls Silliness: This book doesn't take itself seriously for a second, and that's why it's so great. My daughter finds the whole idea, and especially the increasingly wacky butt suggestions, hilarious.Fuels Creativity: The wild ideas for new butts really got my daughter’s own imagination going. She started brainstorming her own silly butt designs, which was fun to see.Fun to Read Aloud: The rhyming text has a good rhythm, making it enjoyable for me to read and for her to listen to. She's even starting to shout out the rhyming words.Expressive Artwork: The illustrations are a huge part of the charm – they’re bright, funny, and perfectly capture the silliness of each potential new butt.Could Be Better (Cons):Purely for Fun: If you're after a book with a profound lesson or a quiet, gentle story, this definitely isn't it. It’s 100% about being goofy."Butt" is the Star: The word "butt" appears. A lot. We think it's hilarious in this context, but if that word makes you cringe, this might not be your cup of tea.The "Crack" Conundrum: The story kicks off because the boy sees his butt has a "crack." It's all very innocent in the book, but it did lead to a brief, literal-minded anatomical Q&A session with my daughter afterward!Bottom Line: This book is a massive hit for us – it's funny, it's creative, and it makes my daughter laugh until her belly aches. If your child loves zany humor and you're okay with the prominent theme of "butts," I can't recommend this one enough. It’s become an instant classic in our rotation.

I Need a New Butt!
I bought I Need a New Butt! for my kids, and it’s been a huge hit! This funny, quirky little book is filled with laughs and silly moments that have had my children giggling from start to finish. The story is simple yet entertaining—it's about a boy who thinks he needs a new butt, and the illustrations are colorful and vibrant, which really keeps the kids engaged.I also love how this book promotes a fun way to talk about body image with a humorous twist. It's a great choice for bedtime or anytime you want to bring some laughter into the room. My kids keep asking for it to be read over and over, which I don’t mind one bit. Overall, this book is a great addition to our collection and perfect for any young reader looking for something light-hearted and fun. Highly recommend it!

Silly fun
My kids are obsessed with the word “butt.” I know, I don’t know what I did. Imagine when your family gets a karaoke machine (yes they still exist) and your kid gets up to sing. They request the song “Bad Blood” (trying to decide if I’m a good parent or not) and suddenly instead of your child harmonizing with Taylor Swift, they are yelling “butt” as many times and as loudly as the mic will let them. This book was perfect for these kids.This book is a funny take on the “butt crack.” Their butt was broken because of said crack and the kid goes on an adventure looking for a new one.Yes it is crude, (what did you expect from the title). No, I would not recommend for everyone.Yes, I would recommend for your children who are a bit…. If you know, you know. If you’re saying “I don’t know,” then it is not for your kids.
