This book was a huge hit with my 6 year old twins. In fact, the whole family got into the game. Such a clever concept that was hilarious while also teaching about animals, camouflage, and how animals communicate. As soon as we finished, my kids were ready to read it again. I love nonfiction books that are fun, informative and interactive, I could see reluctant readers being drawn into this one as the format of guessing if each picture was a butt or face was highly engaging and led to immediate questions when finding out the answer. Highly recommend for animal lovers and silly kids everywhere.

I was so intrigued by the title, and it didn't disappoint! I was expecting drawings based on the cover, but it's zoomed in/cropped photos of animals and kids have to guess if it's a butt or a face. Then the next page has the answer plus facts about the animals. This was so delightful!! Would highly recommend as a great way to introduce kids to lesser known animals.

Thank you for an ARC copy. I requested this, as the mom of two elementary grade boys. We read it together. And naturally, with a title “Butt or Face” they were fully engaged. We had a great time reading each page and taking a guess at what the photo would be. The pages had just the right amount of information on them and it kept our attention just long enough before we wanted to move on.

We just wished the book could have been longer in terms of additional animals.

Thanks to Sourcebooks Kids and NetGalley for the advanced readers copy.

The googly eyes!! We read this book as a family and all had a blast! Face! Butt! The guesses were flying! We loved the pacing of the book and enjoyed all the animal facts. The book was equal parts educational and silly. We will definitely be adding it to our family library!

Is it a butt or a face? This is one of life’s toughest philosophical questions. This book takes you on a journey to find the answer, and will better equip you to differentiate between butts and faces in your own life.

Such an adorable book! First off, I applaud the author for the fun and original concept. Secondly, I loved learning about the different animals, and they were all brand new creatures to me, which I really enjoyed. The text is funny, and the pictures are sharp and beautiful. In the back of the book you’ll find a map showing where each animal lives and a guide to what they eat, which I thought were great additions to the book. I would recommend Butt or Face to everyone, and I look forward to buying it for my library and for my grandchildren. I know they’ll get a huge kick out of it.

My son and I both had fun with this book. It made learning about the different animals entertaining and engaging. We both guess wrong on most of them. I loved the information about the different animals at the end of the book. This would be a great gift for any young animal lover.

This is fantastic! What a smart book, finding a way to make educational facts about animals and bugs fun.

Each section starts with a zoomed in picture and honestly I was guessing on many of them. Then the next page is the answer with fun and interesting facts about it, My kids are going to love this book. It's funny and super interesting,

This would be a fantastic book for preschools or childcare settings. Where you need all quiet play and interaction.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this advanced reader copy. My review is voluntarily my own.

I will be posting my review to the.littlest.bookworm and retail sites close or on publication,
