A playful celebration of bottoms of all shapes and sizes, Taro Miura's concept book will have parents and babies giggling with every turn of the page! Bums! All kinds of lovely bums! Fluffy duck bottoms and big elephant bum bums! Young readers will love the simple, silly concept of Taro Miura's board book, with a bum (and a giggle) on each turn of the page. Bright, funny and easy to understand, very young children can follow along and join in with that irresistible refrain - "Bum bum." A great introduction to books for babies!
