Book Review - Bug Butts

Ok, so this book review is not going to be about diversity or culture. But it will be about 2 subjects that highly appeal to the biologist in me, to science-loving-Lucy, and to a lot of curious and silly kids, I'm sure. Entomology (biology of bugs), and butts (and poop!). It's the perfect marriage of science and scatology. I loved to read this with Lucy, and have to admit, that I actually learned some stuff I didn't know! Like that cockroaches actually pass on their intestinal flora (you know, pro-biotics) to their babies via their "poop". Ok, I know this is gross for a lot of people to think about, but I will always beg to differ, as I find this stuff super interesting. The combination of bugs and poop is a gift to kids, particularly 6- year-olds and up. The words "butt" and "poop" wakes the giggles out of any bored kid, but the material here is interesting beyond just that... there are "bubble butts", "breathing butts",  "exploding butts", "shooting butts", "bug butt buffet"... and so on... very clever!

The illustrations by Haude Levesque are tastefully made to have a more stylized and cut-out look, rather than ultra-realistic, which makes them easy to look at and understand. No gross-out factors. The text is simple to read and understand.

All in all, this is a great recommendation for a fun, educational, engaging and LOL kind of read!
