About This Book

Featuring a beachful of bare-bellied hippos—including one tiny baby who can only say “Bee Bo”—the Belly Button Book is a 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

Our Review

This charming board book delivers exactly what parents and toddlers crave: a sweet, interactive bedtime story that turns reading time into cuddle time. Sandra Boynton's signature hippo characters guide readers through a loving, musical declaration of affection, complete with a catchy "Ooo!" chorus that naturally invites participation. The simple, joyful rhymes and bold, expressive illustrations create an instant classic that feels both timeless and fresh.

What makes this book truly special is how it transforms the reading experience into a physical connection between caregiver and child, making it ideal for winding down before sleep. The playful "snuggle puppy" refrain and the book's gentle rhythm create a sense of security and belonging that little ones will request again and again. This isn't just a story—it's a love song in book form that strengthens bonds through shared reading moments.
