We've All Got Bellybuttons!

by David Martin

Book Overview

In David Martin's rollicking romp, playfully illustrated by Randy Cecil, little ones can follow the actions of animal babies and discover all the wonderful ways their bodies can move.

Customer Reviews

Fun book, great illustrations!

This is an incredibly fun and adorable book. We happened upon it at the library, and my 2-year old LOVED it. He would play along on each page and giggle hysterically when we arrived at the "bellybuttons" page (even before the tickling began). This book will be added to all of my baby shower and baby/toddler birthday gifts!

Fun book

I bought this book for my daughter who is almost 4. The book is fun and she enjoys it. My only comment is this book has hardly any words per page so I'd recommend to start reading it for a much younger child. This is something she can almost read herself sounding out the words - very simple.

We can read it, can you?

This is a charming and completely involving book. David Martin's words are instantly familiar, and they will lead you and your child through a fun romp (stretching your neck like a giraffe is sure to arouse giggles!). As with his other painted books, Randy Cecil again creates the perfect fantasy world to get lost in. This is a fun little book, and the 5 stars are based on the reactions of other parents I've shown my copy to.

"We've All Got Bellybuttons!," written by David Martin and illustrated by Randy Cecil, is a picturebook that does more than just tell a story. It invites your young child to have fun with the characters. There are body parts to be identified, motions to be performed and, best of all, lots and lots of giggles. The elephants start the fun with "We've got ears, and you do too. We can pull them. Can you?" Then, the story takes you through a series of animals who identify different body parts and the things they can do. Of course, they all want to know, "Can you?" Cecil's illustrations are colorful and playful. It's easy to see how much the animals are enjoying showing off all the things they can do. "We've All Got Bellybuttons!" is a book that is sure to promote lots of silly fun for you and your child.
