    We’ve All Got Bellybuttons!
    by David Martin; illustrated by Randy Cecil.

    In this colorful book, cute jungle animals with their babies discover what to do with different parts of their bodies, and invite the children to do the same. The elephants say: “We’ve got ears, and you do too. We can pull them. Can you?” Finally, all the animals gather in the same place and discover that everybody got bellybuttons, and you do too. And when they’re tickle, tickle, tickled … we giggle! Do you? With this book we can invite kids to mimic the movements of the animals and have lots of fun. Renee M.
