Read an Excerpt

This may just look like a brown and round butt . . . 
. . . but when this critter grows, you’ll need to look up.

Whose baby butt is this?

It’s a baby moose!

Moose have short tails that are hard to see. Baby moose are tiny enough to walk under their mother’s belly without ducking. Wow! When they grow up, their legs become more than twice as long as the legs of White-tailed Deer. Adult moose can step across fallen logs with their very long legs and wade across streams without getting their bellies wet.

***

The fur isn’t enough to stay totally warm on this butt . . .
. . . but the tail acts like a blanket that keeps this animal cozy when sleeping.

Whose baby butt is this?

It’s a baby fox!

The swift fox is one of the smallest foxes in the world. Mommy and Daddy weigh only four to five pounds—about half the size of a small dog. This makes the foxes super fast. Varoom! Swift foxes live in underground burrows. When the parents are out hunting, the pups chase each other and play with their leftovers from last night’s dinner.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A wildlife photographer follows up Whose Butt? (2012) with a fresh portfolio of posteriors.Showing no traces of fecal matter and only rarely even a glimpse of bare skin, the fuzzy or feathery fundaments on view belong to young creatures ranging from moose to mustang, cottontail to sandhill crane—all photographed in outdoor settings and all followed by longer-shot views of the whole animal, usually with a parent. The accompanying hints and nature notes are informative, if cutesy ("HANG ON! Baby opossums can hang by their tails, but as they grow, they become too heavy for upside-down fun"). In a more businesslike listing at the end, the author adds further comments about diet, range, and behavior for each, along with smaller headshots. Though any mention or image of "butts" will reliably get a rise from young audiences, overall this is more about baby animals in general than a specific portion of their anatomy. With the possible exception of the opossum's unlovely behind, more likely to elicit responses of "Cute!" than "Gross!" (Informational picture book. 4-6)— Kirkus Reviews

K-Gr 2—The naturalist and wildlife photographer explains how when he was out photographing wildlife, his subject would often turn and run away just as the shutter clicked, leaving him with a great shot—of the creature's butt. This collection of those images is as adorable as it is informative. Clear color photos of various behinds are followed by a fuller picture of the corresponding animal and basic facts. There are 10 babies included and at the end is a section with additional information. The book is well designed and includes a range of critters from the eastern cottontail rabbit and the brown bear to a moose and a loon. The small size of the book physically makes this a contender for a lap sit or one-on-one sharing. VERDICT A fine selection for early animal collections.—Cynde Suite, Bartow City Library System, Adairsville, GA
