    So funny that it will have children wetting their pants (IF they're wearing anyway!), Bottoms Up! is a book guaranteed to cause giggles. Our toddler hero is not happy and wants to protest - if animals don't wear pants, then why should we?! After all . . . Do piglets wear panties? Or puppies or bears? Do fox cubs wear boxers? No, nobody cares!
