Visual and written clues get the child thinking about the animal that they are about to see more clearly on the next page, where the animal replies about what it eats to get such a 'Big Butt'. To liven things up further, within each clue a different expression for an animal's 'butt' is also used; such as 'behind', 'bum', 'rear end'.
