Meet Author of the Popular Children's Book "The Butt Book"

Free: Meet acclaimed children’s book author Artie Bennett for a reading and signing followed by a fun activity on Saturday, April 16, at 11:00 am, Barnes & Noble, 4801 Bethesda Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814 (301-986-1761; http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2750 ) for Saturday-Morning Storytime during the Bethesda Literary Festival. He is the author of The Butt Book, the popular, new book that everyone’s getting "behind." From butts on mummies to butts on mommies, The Butt Book, illustrated by award-winning artist Mike Lester, is a riotous tribute to backsides, rumps, tushies, keisters, heinies, and derrieres, in all their resplendent glory. Dozens of hysterical rhymes and loads of laugh-out-loud pictures pay homage to an unsung body part that keeps both kids and grown-ups giggling with glee.Youngsters will also have a blast completing the missing hindquarters of a dozen creatures and then coloring in the image in a fun coloring-and-activity book that Artie Bennett will be distributing free after his reading. The Butt Book was a huge hit at last year’s Brooklyn Book Festival, Princeton Children’s Book Festival, and Brooklyn Museum’s Children’s Book Fair. Bottoms up! ("An astounding tour de force!" —The Brooklyn Paper; "The Butt Book is going to become the most-read thing in your house!" —Tri-State Defender) Ages 2 to 12. Visit ArtieBennett.com for some fun butt-related stuff, including some fascinating butt trivia, words for the butt, even a classic butt joke.
