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!

Toddler-PreS—Miura's simple digital style doesn't leave room to invoke much charm or texture to the stories. Bum, Bum uses repetition of the same phrase at the turn of the page following each picture, such as "Duck's fluffy...bum, bum." However, the flat, graphic-art style makes it difficult for the artist to portray softness or fluffiness. Nonetheless, the baby's bottom will raise a smile at the conclusion. There, There similarly repeats a phrase after various animals are pictured crying. The conclusion implies that there, there are the magic words that will stop all tears. VERDICT Supplemental fare with nothing special to add to the excellent array of board books this season.—Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
