The TUSHY Book by Fran Manushkin- NO

Manushkin, Fran.  Dockray, Tracy.  The Tushy Book, 32 pgs.  Macmillan, 2011.  $6.99.  Back cover: “Baby tushies, Grown-up tushies, Animal tushies.  Tushies are all around us!  We use them every day.  Even the word, TUSHY, is fun to say!  Tushy, tushy, tushy!”  This is definitely a funny, delightful book, but I can’t see any application to a school library or classroom.  It is written for 2-5 year olds.  Parents could use in conjunction with potty-training a child.  Families would love reading it together.  Classrooms or school libraries would struggle to find appropriate uses for a book of this type. Pre-K.  NO. Reviewer:  SL.
