The Cheeky Book of Bear Butts Featured in Publishers Weekly
Fall 2026 Preview
PW’s review called it “brassy, brazen” and “committed to the bit.”
Sept. 1, 2026
We like bear butts and we cannot lie!
There are all kinds of bears. And all kinds of butts. Cold bear butts, Old bear butts. Tushes that hide in bushes. Rumps that perch on stumps. Laugh-out-loud at this ode to our fuzzy friends and their delightful derrieres.
All right, bears! Let's not be snooty!
Take a bow and shake that booty!
Look at all that bear butt beauty!
