Summary: A Potty Literature Classic
Review: i think any child beginning potty training should have this book. it's humorous, has appealing illustrations, and (i think) teaches we shouldn't be ashamed of natural processes. it's a good supplement to other potty literature.

Summary: even my therapist loves it
Review: thank god for this book. i used to only poop in jars in the safety of my dark closet and then i would quietly hide the jars over the ceiling tiles in the northwest corner of the house.
my therapist gave me this book and now i can use a bedpan without fear of retribution. once they write a book on urine, i'll be all set.

Summary: Toilet training made easier!!!
Review: I know 3 children who were completely potty-trained for #1, but were having major difficulties with wanting to use the potty for #2. Two of the had been having daily #2 "accidents" for months. All three of these kids were absolutely fascinated with the picture of the little boy going poop. The drawing shows the boy from the rear sitting on the toliet and actually shows a small amount of poop going from the boy into the toliet. It was as tasteful as it could possibly be given the nature of this business. All three kids just stared at this picture and within 48 hours of reading this book while sitting on the potty, all three were using the potty for #2. I honestly believe that this picture took away the mystery and fear associated with this very natural function. It gave them a visual cue that they certainly didn't have before this book. I cannot recommend this book enough if your child is having any difficulty pooping in the potty.

Summary: OH BOY! A POOP BOOK!
Review: I love its incredibly tasteful humor that some mentally-screwed parents would NOT find "cute!" Overall, everyone loves it: especially the men in white suits who are taking me away.

Summary: All 3 of my kids have LOVED this book!
Review: Around the age of two-and-a-half, all three of my kids were fascinated with "pooping" and this books was the favorite on the bookshelf. My niece is at this stage now (every time I talk to her on the phone she tells me that she can poop in the potty), so I pulled out our copy of this book to mail to my sister. You should see the condition this book is in-- the cover has long since been ripped off, all the pages are wrinkled and most have been repaired with tape. This is a book that has been well loved by my kids and it shows! So, I'm here at Amazon.com to buy my niece a new copy.

Yes, the book is stupid. Yes, it's gross watching the pooping backsides of all these animals. Your 2 year old will love it!

Summary: Potty humor
Review: My 2 year old girl LOVES this book!She has actually memorized what each page says and "reads" it to herself all the time. I just wish it told us what whale poop looks like so I can give her an answer! Definately a good book for little ones who are potty training or interested in poop. They are the ones it is meant for after all.

Summary: A one-timer funny picture book
Review: This book probably has 15 sentences and 15 pages. Each sentence saying that this or that poops.
The first time you read it (I should say SEE it) you'll really laugh no matter how mature you are. But after, it'll be left under a bed. Good as a joke present, especially for those low budget exchange gifts. Now isn't poop talking fun !

Summary: An Aide to Toliet Training.
Review: It can be incredibly difficult sometimes to train children to learn to use the bathroom. Some kids just don't understand and some just find it so much more convenient to be lazy and some are just plain honery. Whatever the case, parents usually welcome any tool that will ease the task. I suggest using this book, EVERYONE POOPS. Granted, kids will love the book just because they find the subject matter hilarious. However, the book also delivers the subtle message of people using the bathroom. The illustrations are crude and leave nothing to the imagination, but that's part of the book's appeal. Children who are read or read this book soon no longer have a desire to go in their pants and will begin making an effort to use the toilet (unless they are particularly honery, then they will say things like, "But I'm an elephant and elephants do use the toilet"). The book also makes a very funny gag gift.

Summary: Everyone Poops
Review: My son LOVES this book. In a bookcase filled with many many books he almost always gravitates to this one. I also think it is great, the drawings are whimsical and sometimes graphic but it is all put together in a way meant to dispell anxieties in a young child - hence "Everyone Poops". I strongly recommend this book to all who have a sense of humor, and a free mind on bodily functions. It is worth it.

Summary: So Many Poops
Review: Colorful pictures and realistic poop photos. The book starts off with a picture of an elephant and the poop of an elephant. The saying is An Elephant makes a big poop. Then it goes to a mouse and his type of poop.

Then a page devoted to whether a camel does two hump poops or one and we have a page of fish and birds, Another two pages of animals shown from their behinds with their poops. Can you identify which animal goes with which poop? The book tells you there are different shapes, sizes and smells to poop.

There are two pages devoted to a picture of a snake asking which is the snake's behind. My son spent a long time tracing the snake with his fingers when he came to these pages. He loves snakes, and we had one on our front porch not too long ago. Wonder if his poop is still out there, now that I know what it looks like?

The page my son breezed over shows a man with a pipe reading the paper, a boy sitting on a toilet, a boy on a duck potty and then the most realistic poop picture in the whole book, a baby sitting on the floor wailing with its legs in the air with its hands holding the legs and the poop sitting there in the diaper for me to see.

I would quickly turn that page too. You see how kittens like to clean up after themselves and a rhino pays no attention to his poop. One of the last pages is a boy showing his duty in the toilet, two turds to be exact, and ready to flush it to the great beyond. The next two pages has animals eating in a line from the Giraffe to the boy at the table . Turn the page and there are the same animals lined up along with the boy and their duties left behind. And of course, the saying is Everyone Poops.

My only regret is they do not show the boy putting on a pull up. But they did not have them in Japan in 1977 and the book was translated into English. This is a book for the kids who have yet to be toilet trained or are in the process. I think it is geared towards the age group of 3-5 and up for special needs kids.
