By Sandra Boynton
Description:
Featuring a beachful of bare-bellied hippos—including
one tiny baby who can only say “Bee Bo”—the Belly Button Book is the latest
quirky addition to the phenomenally successful Boynton on Board series.
Every
page captivates with Sandra Boynton’s inimitable illustrations and joyful
rhyming text: "Soon after dark, upon the beach, we sing a hippo song, and if
you’re feeling in the mood, we hope you’ll sing along: “Belly Belly Button,
you’re oh so fine. Ooo, Belly Button, I’m so happy you’re mine.”
Shiny and
sturdy, and featuring a great (navel-shaped, naturally) die-cut cover that
offers a provocative glimpse of the merriment inside, the Belly Button Book
provides enduring, giggly, read-aloud fun.

That's because our copy is very, very well loved:
It's so well-loved that Rain Dragon made me draw belly buttons on all her toys:
