The Tushy Book

Fran Manushkin

Macmillan, Mar 31, 2009 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages

Baby tushies. Grown-up tushies. Animal tushies. Tushies are all around us! Even the word, TUSHY, is fun to say. C'mon, say it with us: TUSHY! TUSHY! TUSHY!

Here's a celebration of this squeezably soft body part, with humor and warmth that readers of all ages will relate to.
