The point of the book is to help children learn to love themselves no matter what shape, color or size they are. The word "butt" is not a bad word and it is a word that the age group, 4-8 uses, the outrage against this book is misplaced. With all the things wrong in this country, such as book burnings and rights being taken away from people. This is what outrages people, butts!?! I guess we should all stay inside and never learn about other people or anything that scares us! So dumb.
