Battle of the Butts: The Science Behind Animal Behinds by Jocelyn Rish

Recommended for an Immature Audience, Kids and Adults

Butts are used for breathing, eating, swimming, talking, and even killing in the animal kingdom.

Which animal has the coolest butt power? That’s up to you to decide!

Discover the fascinating ways ten different animals use their talented tushies for survival and then pick the ultimate King of Keisters in this hilarious non-fiction book.

 

The writing is incredible! I would like to know how the author decided which animals to use, and I wonder which animals didn’t make the cut.

 

There are so many different terms for ‘butt,’ and you can find every one of them in this book.

I couldn’t decide on a single winner for the Battle of the Butts. It was a tie between the herring (toot talker) and the sea cucumber (multipurpose butt).
