Our Review

This charming board book delivers exactly what its title promises—a playful celebration of belly buttons through the antics of hippos at the beach. Sandra Boynton's signature illustrations and bouncy, joyful rhymes make the simple act of celebrating a navel feel like a beach party, complete with a tiny hippo whose contribution is the infectious "Bee Bo." The rhythmic, sing-song text is perfectly crafted for read-aloud sessions, ensuring that both reader and listener will be tapping their toes.

What makes this book stand out in the crowded field of early concept books is its sheer, unadulterated silliness and genuine warmth. It takes a universal childhood fascination and turns it into a shared, giggle-inducing experience, making it a standout for toddlers who are just discovering their own bodies. The combination of sturdy, child-friendly pages and a premise that never fails to amuse makes this a repeat-read favorite that cleverly reinforces body positivity and the pure joy of being silly.
