There is a town
where all the tushies/butts feel unappreciated, so one night they run off,
wearing underwear. They go and enjoy the beach. In the meantime, the people of
the town are buttless and as they try to compensate by using padding, they come
to miss their tushies and welcome them home!
I am a pretty
quirky person, but this book was just too bizarre for me. Are butts under appreciated?
Is this a niche in the morals/lesson book genre that was missing? There are a
couple of reasons I wouldn't put this book in my school library. The first is
that the butts are wearing underwear, including panties, and the butt cheeks
really look like busty cleavage. Second, this story, featuring faces above each
butt, is fully nightmare inducing. I will not be thanking this author if I have
a nightmare about my butt going missing or talking to me, nor will I chance it
on students with an even more vivid imagination than mine.

Stephanie, I think this might be one of my all-time favorite reviews ever! So hilarious and honest. Though, uh, I now kind of want to read the book just so I can see how appalling it is. :-D
