There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it — everyone is getting behind Artie Bennett’s “The Butt Book,” a new illustrated children’s book that is a tribute to backsides, rumps, tushies, keisters, coolies, heinies, and derrieres, in all their resplendent glory.
That being the case, Bennett is busy this month, making appearances in Brooklyn in support of the book, which features dozens of hysterical rhymes and loads of laugh-out-loud pictures that pay homage to an unsung body part (Sir Mix-A-Lot excluded, of course) that keeps both kids and grown-ups giggling with glee. There’s bound to be a location near you, so bottoms up!
