With Belli- Buttons, the illustrated story of Eddie the puppy, Lucy the piglet, Alabaster the cat and Mommy pig, young readers learn all about their own belly button and where babies come from. Through questions about belly buttons posed by the spotted puppy with the red kerchief, the furry cat with the yellow bow-tie, a big pink pig and even a quacking duck named Daisy, the miracle of birth is gently rendered. The book also promises to have kids laughing while they learn. The tale of self-discovery was penned by children's book veteran Jutta Lan-reuter and illustrated in vivid brushstrokes by Andrea Hebrock.
