The ending, I was wondering how it would go, butt I definitely hadn’t seen that one coming. It is a good ending! I'm not really a fan of the illustration style, however, particularly the way the boy was drawn. I did like the use of color, though. In a letter to Price, the superintendent reportedly called the book “inappropriate”, pointing to references to flatulence and noting that it “described butts in various colors, shapes and sizes (example: fireproof, bullet proof, bomb proof)”.

Neither Martin nor members of the school board immediately responded to Guardian requests for comment. Thanks to NetGalley and Dover Publications for the e-ARC. Publication date of I Need a New Butt! is on September 17, 2014. Price said school officials told him they feared complaints from parents and Martin said he had been “unprofessional”. Price told the Times he had a lawyer and would fight his firing. Come and see us sometime. Bring your swimming gear and your fishing rods. If you let me know you’re coming I’ll make you some hokey-pokey biscuits. All in all, this book is just fantastic. Let’s stop banning books and just have fun again. Let kids read and be read aloud to whatever they want. If they want butts, then go for it! Recommended!You’ll see that I do a lot of readers for schools. I enjoy doing these. They’re like a story and a puzzle combined. The story is the most important part but there are lots of reading level challenges to get right too. The readers go all over the world, with some of them translated into other languages. I wasn't really sure how the book would be able to pull off being funny without being gross, but it was able to do so. I actually liked the different types of butts he considered, especially the arty-farty butt. I found myself laughing a few times and my infant son seemed to enjoy it too as he laughed a couple of times, although I'm not sure if he was laughing at the drawings or at the verses.

It can be difficult getting kids interested in books and reading. Any book that can capture a kid's interest and have them wanting to read it again, and then read another book is a good book - a great book. For full transparency, I didn't read this book. Instead, I watched a video where it was read aloud for a kid based target audience. To be completely honest, it made me smile and I watched the video several times. Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days. In I Need a New Butt!, a little boy thinks he broke his butt so he starts thinking of what kind of replacement butt he should have. I can assure you right now that your kids will love this book. Anything irreverent concerning body parts or body sounds are always a hit with kids. They will giggle, they will laugh and they will want this book to be read over and over again because it is just plain silly and funny....the perfect kid-combo.

How rude!” That’s the kind of response Dawn McMillan’s I New A New Butt is bound to get from some moms and dads. McMillan’s popular story was first published in New Zealand under the more polite title “I Need a New Bum.” This quirky little picture book may not be a guide to manners, but it’s a far cry from crude. Like it or not, you’ll be hard pressed to keep from smiling! This is the kind of book that can engage kids into reading books. The illustrations are colourful, relevant to the text, and funny. The story itself is the right level of sillyness and playfulness that you want in a kids book. Not surprisingly it abounds in bum and fart jokes, and even has some bum puns. Admittedly, the text may not earn the author a spot in Poet's Corner, but then again, this is not supposed to be high poetry. Did I want to be in the New York Times one day? Yes! For my kids book, comics, or Grog the Zombie videos. But here we are… https://t.co/eyvhSXRx6o— Toby Price (@jedipadmaster) March 12, 2022 But not all my stories come from nature. I keep a watch on what’s happening around me and I listen to what people say. Sometimes a joke can give me an idea. But most of my stories come from my own experience…the happy times, the sad times, and the special people I’ve known.

I Need a New Bum!: (The New Bum Series) by Dawn McMillan

But in positioning the act of reading a book as a violation of ethics, the district is implying that any educator could be terminated under similar circumstances, whenever an anonymous source feels a book read to students is ‘inappropriate’ for any reason.Goodreads review link: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/999476413 Blog review link (scheduled Sept 17): http://thebookshelfgargoyle.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/a-cheeky-read-it-if-review-i-need-a-new-butt/ The whole idea was as hilarious as it was preposterous, so I confess I did come into this already already biased towards the writer and artist, and they did not let me down, either one of them. Of course, I'm way to old for this kind of a book, but that didn't prevent me from maximizing my enjoyment and having some fun with it.
