(1999)
A Picture Book by

 
 
Body parts and their functions are something of an obsession for small children, and bellybuttons seem to hold a particular fascination. In The Boy Who Lost His Bellybutton Jeanne Wills and Tony Ross take a riveting journey through the jungle with the boy whose belly button "was there when he went to sleep, but when he woke up it was gone".

As he searches through the jungle (of course, where else would he look for it?) he encounters wild animals who all have bellybuttons of their own, but are little help when it comes to tracking down the one that has gone missing.

A comical romp through the imagination from the very beginning to the very end, this utterly brilliant picture book is perfect for sharing with a small child. --Susan Harrison
