Summary: Great Book I've Never Heard of
Review: My sister is trying to potty train my two year old nephew. I was visiting one night and he had me read "once upon a potty." i thought it was okay. i asked my sister if she had bought "everyone poops" yet and she had never heard of it. i was a bit surprised, as it had a sort of cult following when i was in high school. so i got on ole amazon to order "everyone poops." i decided to follow their recommendations and also pick up "does a pig flush?". it has become one of THE books my nephew wants people to read. the illustrations are good and the text is engaging. it gets a bit didactic toward the end, but my nephew doesn't seem to mind. i think his favorite part is answering the questions at the beginning concerning "who" flushes. i think it might be one of the better potty books.

Summary: Pig Latin
Review: Okay, Okay, Okay...hold on a minute:1) Pigs are cloven, and yes perhaps if they applied enough pressure to the toilet handle perhaps they could flush, but come on seriously? Flushing with a hoof? 2) Pigs are short, hence, they could never reach the toilet handle without help. It would take at least two smart pigs, one balencing the other to flush. Not likely, friends. 3) "What if the pig jumped?" Whatever. I've heard this argument so many times, I'm sick and tired of the "Verticalist Theory". The highest jumping pig's vertical ever recorded was six inches. That leaves about two and a half feet to cover to flush. Insipid. 4) Pigs go outside. Okay, a few eccentric pig-owners have been known to keep their pigs indoors but a vast majority of pig-life is spent outdoors. Ever heard of a trough? A sty? Pig-iron? Wake up Farmer Browns of the world! 5) Finally, pigs are free.
