NSTA Recommends
One of the earliest questions young children ask is why they have belly buttons. This book explains how belly buttons connect people to the group of animals called mammals. Every mammal, from the gigantic blue whale to the tiny bumblebee bat, has a belly button. It marks the place where a mammal was connected to its mother before birth.
Stunning, realistically detailed illustrations by artist Higgins Bond.
