Cover of Butt or face?: Can You Tel
A review of Butt or face?: Can You Tell Which End You're Looking At? by Kari Lavelle

Does it ever get old??? No, it does not. Animal books are one of the staples of any library kids collection and these two are extra fun. In close up, highly detailed color photos, the reader is asked if they are looking at a “butt” or a “face” of an animal. Turn the page and get your answer along with interesting facts about the animal in question.Some animals are easy guesses, but most are exotic surprises.  Who knew an Australian Mary River Turtle breathes through its butt and can stay underwater for several days at a time?
Hoots of laughter will accompany these titles as kids contemplate is it a “Butt or a Face”. Rowdy non fiction titles filled with both information and……butts. Check out Butt or Face: Can You Tell Which End You're Looking At? and Butt or Face: Revenge of the Butts for facts and laughs.
