School Library Journal Review
PreS-K-In this rhythmic romp, cartoon animals and their young explore the various ways in which their bodies can move and invite youngsters to play along. Each bright, candy-colored spread features a family of animals chanting a perky rhyme about a particular body part and motion. For instance, the monkeys declare: "We've got hands, and you do too./We can clap them./Can you?" Children will eagerly follow along as elephants pull on their ears, giraffes stretch their necks, zebras kick their feet, leopards close their eyes, and hippos open their mouths. Finally, all of the creatures join together to look at their bellybuttons, and a ticklefest leads to giggles all around. Martin's vivacious verse and Cecil's happily goofy oil illustrations are perfectly matched. This book will be a hit at storytimes as well as a favorite with children just beginning to read.-Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, WI (c) Copyright 2010.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Author David Martin and artist Randy Cecil invite children to see what they have in common with the animal kingdom in We've All Got Bellybuttons! Elephants' ears, monkeys' hands and giraffes' necks number among the attributes that human children share, and buttons appear on the bellies of all the furry and four-legged characters here-just begging to be tickled.
