My sister and I do a monthly book club for my nephew, and this was my most recent pick. Although my 2-year-old nephew was a bit perplexed at the idea of tushies wandering off, my family loved this story. The adults were so amused by it that nearly everyone has read the story with him.The artwork is really cute, I love the colors, and it really does make you appreciate a certain unappreciated part of the anatomy. If you're a parent who likes bedtime stories that aren't SUPER long, this is a great selection. The book is relatively short, with just a few lines of text on each page. The fact that it all rhymes makes it kind of fun to read aloud, too.Overall, highly recommended. I'm guessing a 4 or 5-year-old might enjoy it more than my almost 3-year-old nephew (he doesn't find tushies very funny yet), but it's a funny book either way.
There are other books for kids that are specifically designed to educate, and maybe entertain. This is a book that will definitely entertain, and probably educate.The analogy that comes to mind immediately is the verse of W.S. Gilbert. Like Gilbert's work, the verse here is well done, clever, and designed to please the audience. The story is very cute, and the rhymes are a constant, pleasant surprise. The attention to scansion is striking, which should please the "well versed." The illustrations are fun, and considering their subject, very tasteful.Given the choice between this book and more serious children's books, I think a goodly number of kids would choose this one. There are other books to shape young characters and to contemplate the eternal verities. This one was designed to be fun, and it is.Bravo!
My niece LOVES this book. we read it everytime I see her, and she knows it by heart. It is hilarious. One day I called her and while talking, I mentioned my tushy was missing. She was worried for weeks, until she saw me. I didn't think she thought I was serious!
“Where’s My Tushy?” by Deborah Aronson, is a fresh, new approach to children’s picture books by a talented wordsmith who writes in a charming and clever rhyme scheme. Colorfully illustrated by Ivica Stevanovic, “Tushy” is sparkling fun--easy to read to, or by, the pre-K set. In this day and age, when iPad games all too often replace picture books, producing glassy-eyed, robotic pre-pubescents, it is refreshing to find this innovative, break-out jewel with a new slant, ready to stimulate toddlers’ grey matter and tickle their senses. Kudos to Deborah for a delightful read!
Just what kid's love. A playful "lets pretend" story - involving a body part, no less. What if our derrieres really decided it was time for a vacation? That the story is told in rhymes makes it more fun, easier to repeat along with the reader, and easier for a child to learn to read himself.The illustrations are wonderful. How would you imagine a tushy to look while sneaking out of town? Adults will enjoy reading the story at their kids' bedtime. But check in the morning to be sure your tushy is still attached!
This rhymed fable of a town where the tushies desert their owners for a little R & R is just what young kids will adore while adults won't snore. The illustrations present plenty of humor on their own, with lots for kids to discover and chortle at on each page. Aronson, on her first time out, has hit a bulls-eye; this is the kind of book that children will request over and over...and over...
This book is great for children. My 6 and 4 year old very much enjoy it. Illustration is very colorful and fun. Story is very interesting and funny. I read to my children, which they love, and my 6 year old can easily read the book too. Very well written!
