I received a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book was so cute. The pictures were bright and there was simple text. This would be a great board book for early literacy or children with smaller attention spans. What kid doesn't love talking about bums?

Colorful and fun book to read with your child. My three year old and I had a great time guessing "who's bum". There are clues on each page to help the child with the trickier ones (bird, hamster, etc). He thought it was funny. We also enjoyed discussing the colors on each page. We would enjoy this one over and over again in our home library.

This interactive and fun board book will have kids guessing, giggling and going for more... A diverse parade of critters show off their tushies and the reader has to guess who those derriéres belong to. What little one would not love that game? That subject matter is always an instant hit with that age group.

The illustrations are large, simple and oh so vibrantly coloured. This hint-and-reveal book will not leave wee ones bummed out but quite the opposite. They will be excited to turn the page and discover whose bottom is next up to discern. I love everything about this sweet book and I highly recommend it. Both grown-ups and kids will come away smiling after reading this book together I'm sure.

This book is exactly what the title says. It’s a baby’s picture book of bums. Can you guess who the bum belongs to? Lively and colorful illustrations perfect for it’s audience.

A cute, straightforward little interactive book that asks readers to guess whose bum appears on the page. The illustration style isn't 100% my cup of tea, but the premise is great and it's got good kid-appeal.

Soooo cute!!! I think this would make a great addition to a baby's board book collection! Add on as a baby shower gift! I love the illustrations of all the critters back and front sides. I'm betting littles will get a kick out of this book!

I liked the guessing aspect of “Whose Bum?” and the illustrations. However, I probably wouldn’t buy it or read it again.

I love that this book flips the usual perspective around, to look at tails instead of heads. Children can think about which animals' rear ends belong to which type of animal, and the book is just plain fun! Giggles galore!

I thought that this would be great for my two granddaughters who are both a little over 2 years of age, I also read it to my 4 y/o grandson. Being this age they naturally think that anything about bums, belly buttons, etc is quite funny. Giggles are really the only reaction that this book had on the kids, and myself. Though the illustrations are cute and colorful they are simply too much the same! The animals are not at all realistic and they are basically all shaped the same, large circle with only the difference of ears, tail and/or bum. I think this book would have been more fun if the animals really looked like a turtle, a cat, a bunny, etc instead of just a cartoon.,

I was not impressed with the book and neither were the kids. I would not recommend it or purchase it. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review this children's book.

Whose Bum? is a funny little book that toddlers will enjoy immensely. As a speech language pathologist, books to encourage language development in toddlers, I am always on the lookout for books that encourage certain grammar. Whose Bum? will encourage proper use of possessives, perspective taking , and work on turn taking between parent and child. The illustrations are cute and colorful, with the ability to capture a toddler's attention. I really liked this book, although educators take caution for that one parent who will take offense of the use of bum. I would recommend this book to families to have a great time with their young children . I give this one five stars!

If you're the kind of person who totally would have hung Aunt Gayle's Art Crawl Animal Anus paintings all over your h*ckin house, then this book is for you.

A cute board book about animal bums. Not much more to say than that. I'm sure or younger patrons and their parents will love it.

My kids, who are 3 and 4 thought this book was so cute, and ask me to read it to them, My 3 year old has a thing about bums right now, so it was perfect for her. Definitely a cute book for kids.

An adorable book filled with bright photos perfect to peak the interest of young children. I feel like children aged 1-4 years old will have a ton of fun looking at the pictures, and guessing which bum goes to which type of animal. I can already tell this will be stunning in "board book " form, and will be a huge hit with day cares, schools, and in family homes.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

The good thing about board books is that if your kid loves them, they will memorize them and "read" them over and over again. The bad thing, of course, is it better be a book you like hearing or reading over and over again.

As board books go, they ahve to be simple and short. That is the case with this book. It is about the bottoms, the butts of various things the child would be familiar with. And butts are a fun topic with toddlers, so they will probably love checkin out whose butt belongs to whose.

Nothing deep here, just cute bright pictures that ask the question "Whose bum?" and then the asnwer.
