And did you know that boobies, or breasts, vary from person to person, that boobies change over time, and that different animals have different numbers of boobies? Witty and wide-ranging, this eye-opening picture book goes on to explore connections between boobies and mountains, boobies and ancient art and, of course, boobies and you! \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNancy Vo’s latest creation is fresh and funny, while serving up just the right amount of fact.
