About the book:

Are you ready for round three of the hilarious guessing game picture book? Discover fascinating facts about disgusting animals while guessing if you're looking at a butt or a face!

Butt or Face? Volume 3: Super Gross Butts continues the entertaining challenge with a new set of (nasty!) animals from all over the world. Examine a close-up photo of an animal and then guess whether you're looking at the top or the…um…bottom. The answer is revealed on the next page with a photo of the complete animal.

Readers will discover animals like a horned lizard that shoots blood from its eyes, a tongue-eating louse, a caterpillar that ejects poop, and many more gross, amazing animals. Fun animal facts and information about camouflage and other sneaky animal tricks are included.

About the author:

Kari Lavelle is the award-winning author of WE MOVE THE WORLD, illustrated by Nabi H. Ali (HarperCollins), the BUTT OR FACE? series (Sourcebooks) and ODE TO GRAPEFRUIT: HOW JAMES EARL JONES FOUND HIS VOICE, illustrated by Bryan Collier (Knopf). She has always had a love for words: as a kid reading books, as a speech pathologist helping children communicate, and now as a writer creating stories. She grew up in the Midwest but now lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, their two children, and doggo, Dobby. Learn more about Kari and her books at karilavelle.com.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.

Thank you for supporting Kari Lavelle and your local independent bookstore!
