Synopsis

A small girl listens to her older sister complaining about her bottom. Surely, it has not grown since last summer? Look! She can't even fit into her swimsuit. But, the small girl thinks her sister's bottom looks lovely, and asks her to consider the following: noses, mouths, ears and eyes are all shapes and sizes - and so are bottoms. Big bottoms are useful for crash landings and, if you are a queen, keeping you comfy while sitting on your throne for long periods. If you are a princess, however, a small bottom can be a boon for detecting peas under the mattress, but on the other hand, not so good for riding horses. From the author of "Jesus' Christmas Party" and "The Queens Knickers", this riotously funny picture book exposes the wonder of all kinds of bottoms - from Snow White's to Santa Claus'! Nicholas Allan is at his cheekiest and best, inviting you to be proud of your bum - it's the only one you've got!
