What a ‘zoo’

Butts are so useful — not only do they enable us to sit, they can even teach us how to draw!

The new activity book “Everything Butt Art at the Zoo” teaches children ages 4 and older the core principals of step-by-step drawing. And every drawing originates from the outline of — yes — a butt.

This creative and educational activity book by Brian Snyder and illustrator Alexis Moniello is designed to encourage young artists with a fun and effective technique, which Snyder has found to be successful with his own daughter.

In addition to providing step-by-step instructions for sketching 15 zoo animals, “Everything Butt Art at the Zoo” offers unique facts about each of the characters alongside colorful illustrations your own child will be making in no time.

“Everything Butt Art at the Zoo,” $9.95. For info, visit everythingbuttart.com.
