The Butt Book by Artie Bennett won’t gross you out. It will crack you up.
Get it? Crack?
I’m laughing by myself, aren’t I? Oh, poop.
Anyway, The Butt Book is a perfect just-enough potty humor kid book to gives kids an excuse to say butt. Seriously, what kid (or husband) doesn’t like to say butt? (Remember when you learned how to spell butt? Hilarious stuff!)
Let me share with you some of my favorite rhymes:
” Buttocks is the
formal name –
and no two buttocks
are the same.”
. . .
Artie Bennett’s website shares 40 words for the butt including:
1. arse
2. back porch
3. backside
4. behind
5. booty
6. bottom
7. breech
8. bum
9. buns
10. caboose
You must visit Bennett’s site to find the rest of the butt words, plus a good butt joke, and fascinating butt trivia. Fascinating.
Win your own The Butt Book! Comment below with your favorite word for butt and you’ll be entered in the random drawing. Thank you to Artie Bennett for providing this cheeky giveaway. Ha, ha. (I’m still laughing by myself, aren’t I?) Contest ends Dec. 7, 2010.

My grandma calls it a buppie – she’s Norwegian and it came out with an accent so I can’t even spell it the way it sounds. It stuck and we all use it – though my 5 year old just started using the word butt and it’s cute. (If you ever do a boob book – we call those num nums. yes, the little kids in the family call them that. ha!)
Booty is my/our favorite word for bottom. This book looks hilarious!
My favorite would have to be patootie!
Have you read Chicken Cheeks by Michael Ian Black! Anther great ‘butt’ book must read! 
Thanks for the give away!
Wow, I really want to win this book for a um…friend of mine. Yeah, right…
Anyway, my favorite word for butt is booty. At least it’s what I use when I talk to my daughter.
Great giveaway!
My favorite is curple, but it’s not on the list. I used to tell my nephew to use that word so my brother wouldn’t yell at him for saying butt.
Booty or hiney in our house!
Pockets. That is what our media specialist says to the kids at story time. Thanks everyone for sitting on your pockets. Remember there is a first for everything.

We are a tushie family, ourselves, although my four year old cracks herself up (pun intended ha!) by saying “butt-ocks!”

I always liked the very Victorian “sit-upon,” but in my house we usually call it a bottom or booty.
I actually MET Artie this summer at a Family Nature Summit! Nice guy, great book!
This may be the best contest ever! Never thought I’d be entering to win by using my favorite butt word…HINEY! . Thanks for featuring this book. I’m laughing already
Why is the bottom such a fascinating part of our anatomy.
We’ve used “bum” in our house but my friend out-cutes me with “hiney-butt”!!
My son would love this book! My friends and I have called it the patootie forever
Thanks for the giveaway.
Well, I didn’t see my favorite “butt word”–”Pompis”…such a funny word. I also like the word, “bum” for it. There would be many laughs in our family with this book!
Boy, what a fun contest! We’ll soon be up to fifty or more words. How could I have been so neglectful? I’ll have to do a serious Web page update soon. Please keep them coming. And I love “sit-upon.” In fact, I should’ve called it “The Sit-Upon Book.” “Butt Book” is so . . . unrefined. Thanks, everyone, for all the great additions and the many gracious and heartening comments. And hi, Michele!
buns is our fav but I wish that I could work in derrière more often
Ok, back porch is pretty hilarious but I think “keester” takes the cake!
Boo-tay rules the day at our house!
We’ve always called it botsy. I thought maybe it was British from my boy’s dad’s side of the family so I had to look it up. According to the Urban Dictionary: Noun: Caribbean (esp. Barbadian) slang word for a person’s bottom.
My Haitian friends call it a Buddha and the Spanish friends call it a . . . ! I love both names!
Hey – I edited out the word. Yes, in Spain, it means bum. In other countries like Mexico, that word is considered very crude – so I thought we’d leave it out of the comments section.
We are a niner family
This is a must have book – I have to order one for Christmas. Our family call it a hiney, tush and patootie
My dad used to call it an arse when I was little. My kids always said patootie. My grandchildren say booty. It’s funny to realize there are so many different names for your rear.
My dad has always called it fanny. Such a funny word! Interesting book… I’d love a copy!
We call it a booty booty butt over here! As in, “I can tell you like that song, you’re really shaking your booty booty butt!”
I just tried to post, but it didn’t work I don’t think, so I’m going to try it again! Hopefully, this doesn’t end up a duplicate!
You are definitely not laughing alone because I am laughing too! What an hilarious review!!! I think this book would be so much fun for both my son AND daughter! They definitely cannot get enough of shaking their booty around our house! Or, if you want another favorite term . . . bum!
Booty is cute, as we use this term at home.. lo
This is such a great book! Funny and entertaining
Tush or Tushie – but then, I’m Jewish! This books sounds delightful!
Buttski is used around our house a lot…lol
I like the word heinie
We just use the word “butt”
