From Booklist:

From the title on, toddlers will have as much fun with the sounds of the words as the physical facts in this picture book, which starts with the tiny detail of the belly button: “Looking closer, if you squint, you can see a little lint.” As in The Tushy Book (2009), the uncluttered pictures in bright gouache and watercolor and elemental shapes show the action, whether it is eating (“Bellies love carrots and birthday cakes, / tofu, tacos, chocolate shakes”) or belly flopping in the water or giving a puppy a tickly belly rub-a-dub. Kids will enjoy acting out the wriggly words. Preschool. --Hazel Rochman
