Green Eggs and Ham meets Everyone Poops in this laugh-out-loud story that asks—and answers—the burning question in every kid's life.

Does a scarecrow have a butt?
Yep, you stuff him with a straw one.
And does a crayon have a butt?
Nope, but it can surely draw one.
This silly, funny, clever book will be the most quoted text in all of elementary school.

Over the course of a long walk across a city, one curious kid needs to know: "Does it have a butt?" Everything from sheep to ghosts to dinosaurs is subjected to this all-important question, and Dad is a never-ending source of answers. On a laugh-out-loud father-child ramble, we come to see that every butt, from a bullfrog's to a zombie's, has its own distinctive, and distinctively hilarious, quality.

LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY: It's impossible to find a kid who doesn't giggle at the word "butt." The repetition of the word, the varied assortment of butts, and the clever rhymes make this a book that both parents and children will return to over and over again.

A SNEAKY WAY TO TEACH ABOUT CONTEXT: The book isn't simply a repetition of one joke or word. Instead, it offers a crafty way of talking about what things mean in different contexts.

SILLY AND SWEET, NOT GROSS: Butt jokes can potentially cross a line and become offensive or insensitive, but the tone and choices throughout this book are sweet and innocent, making it a unique, accessible option for parents and educators who want to normalize the asking of difficult questions.

COUNT THE BUTTS! This book will change how you see the world: Not only will you start wondering about all inanimate objects' butts, you'll start seeing them everywhere! There are nearly 200 butts in the illustrations that aren't even mentioned in the text. Keen-eyed young readers will delight in the most hilarious seek-and-find they could ever imagine!

Perfect for:

• Parents
• Grandparents
• Educators and librarians
• Fans of funny books

Does a Bulldozer Have a Butt?

This laugh-out-loud, rhyming picture book makes for the perfect story time read.

"The transgressively funny concept (plus plentiful puns and mentions of tush utility) will no doubt win over the target audience, but even more important is the portrait the book offers: one of a world in which questions serve as a common bond, curiosity is amply rewarded, and variety is the spice of life."

—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Readers are invited to find all the hidden butts in this hilarious seek-and-find.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-A gender neutral child and father are walking to school. The child's first-person narration indicates that there are always questions, because Daddy always knows the answers, and today's question is about butts. "Does a scarecrow have a butt? Yep, you stuff him with a straw one. And does a crayon have a butt? Nope, but it can surely draw one." The child asks about every single thing and the dad answers yes in a short funny manner, not always meant to be taken literally. This pattern repeats until the end of the book. The text is simple and stands out, but the wordplay may work better with first graders than younger children. As for the illustrations, there are butts in clouds, on billboards, in apartment windows, in tree branches (formed by leaves), and it's really quite a feat-a book about nothing more than butts. The neighborhood is diverse; the child and the father have brown skin. VERDICT Yes, a bulldozer has a butt, in this comical read-aloud for children who love humor on the edge.-Margaret Kennellyα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Review

“In an unexpectedly delightful shift in tone and topic from The Longest Letsgoboy (2021), Wilder gets philosophical on the subject of butts. . . . This fun little adventure is told in effortlessly cadenced rhyme with witty back-and-forth dialogue between a BIPOC father and daughter. Adding to the entertainment are Steele’s weird and wonderful illustrations, which hide (Easter egg-style) outstanding bottoms on every page. . . . It’s positively cheeky!”—Booklist

“The text is simple and stands out…[The illustrations are] really quite a feat…Yes, a bulldozer has a butt, in this comical read-aloud for children who love humor on the edge.”?-School Library Journal

“The transgressively funny concept (plus plentiful puns and mentions of tush utility) will no doubt win over the target audience, but even more important is the portrait the book offers: one of a world in which questions serve as a common bond, curiosity is amply rewarded, and variety is the spice of life.”-Publishers Weekly, starred review

Extraordinary disappointment

Extraordinary disappointment
I only write reviews if something is absolutely outstanding, or unbelievably horrific. In this case, it’s the latter. Look at the first page and it sums it up… “…and wants royalties.” This book was certainly a cash-grab. I paid a premium for the new release based on the description, unfortunately. If I could have previewed the first few pages, I would have paid triple to not receive the book in the first place. All I could think about was how this book abysmally tries to accomplish an educational overview of a normal facet of life, like the book “Everyone Poops.” Unlike the book “Everyone Poops,” this publication just portrayed a series of sphincters and “butts” on different objects and animals. The pictures were questionable, and portrayed abstract subliminal imagery that I would like to prevent exposing my child to.

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024
Listen, I never write reviews, BUTT I felt compelled to write this one. I love normal kids' books, but I can only read about emotions and colors and whatever other age-appropriate topic so many times. This book is a delight for anyone reading it who has a sense of humor and doesn't take their reading material seriously. It's also great for kids who are getting into rhyming or finding things/I Spy books. Immense amounts of entertainment, beautiful and creative illustrations, this book has it all. No ifs, ands, or...well. There are definitely butts.

Cute book BUT... when I think of kids books, I think of teaching kids fundamental principles that can be used throughout their life, or something cute and silly. I don't think of subtle and or overt indoctrination into BLM and LGBT ideology.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2023
This book will keep your kid entertained for ages as they search for all the hilarious hidden butts. I'm impressed by the clever answers to the boy's question after question: "Does a XX have a butt?" Five stars for the creativity, humor, and amazing art. The San Francisco Bay Area setting is a lovely backdrop for this story. A book I will buy again and again for kid's birthday party presents, or to donate to the school.
