Title: Chicken Butt!
Author: Erica Perl
Illustrator: Henry Cole
Review Copy Provided by: authorAbout the Book: When a little boy successfully uses "fowl" play and ridiculous rhymes to get his distracted dad's attention, he gets so excited he keeps going and going. Dad wants to stop the silliness, but he's no match for . . . CHICKEN BUTT!
My Review: This is another book with a VERY catchy title! What kid wouldn't judge this book by it's cover? Open it up, and you aren't disappointed. Such vibrant, vivid pictures make this book just loveable. Perl has taken a simple child's rhyme, joke, annoyance, and turned it into a book that young children will love! I fell in love with the dad in this book. He gets so annoyed with the little boy, but the boy is just having fun. The dad's facial expressions are priceless! Thank you, Henry Cole. This is definitely a book I will be recommending to parents of young children.

Totally looks adorable and with a title like that who can go wrong? Kids love this stuff and the illustrations are awesome!!
This does sounds like a book kids would love.
That is so funny about the two books. But kids do seem obsessed with that area!
