"Unabashedly takes the shame away ... Be prepared to giggle along." --The Children's Book ReviewTaking the taboo out of POO Everybody poops--it's true It's time to blow the door right off the bathroom, and shine a light on what happens on the loo. For the little ones just discovering the contents of their diapers and nappies, the bigger ones needing reassurance that their most mysterious bodily function is as natural as can be, and the biggest ones who still hold a fondness for toilet humor, Everybody Poops is piled high with bold and audacious illustrations and the truth about who's doing the pooing: every body is doing it Sure to incite giggling fits and all-ages laughter, Everybody Poops exposes the least talked about fact we all have in common the world over and among all walks of life, benefiting the youngest of us by opening the discussion, promoting comfort with their bodies, and helping them feel included. Poo pride "Plenty to talk about ... Especially well-conceived ... The artwork is superb." (LoveReading4Kids) "Delightfully charming ... Adults will find it just as entertaining as children ... There are other books out there on this particular subject, without a doubt this is the best one I've read yet." (Readers' Favorite) "Try this book ... Let's face it, poop is funny " (The Wishing Shelf Review) "Poop is nothing to be ashamed of, and actually is something to celebrate." (Midwest Book Review)… (more)

While I generally like the content of the book, there are couple of the illustrations that I don't think are necessary or appropriate. For example there is a page on which a person is pooping off the side of a boat into the ocean. But the scene I found most troublesome was when one climber was

pooping onto another climber below them. "Everybody poops" is an important message for kids, but I'm not sure it should mean "and it's ok to poop wherever and whenever you want". Just my personal thoughts. I'm not sure if I'll be sharing this title with my child or not. Show Less

A very funny an clever story about a natural human occurrence. I had a great time reading this book and I believe both children and adults will get a kick out of it too. We know "everybody poops" but it's not something to openly talk about so I think this story will help people realize there is no

I received a Mobi.file copy of this delightful from the publisher through a giveaway they recently had on LibraryThing, and the following is my honest opinion.
I thought I had an original idea for a review for this; I thought I would connect this book with the potty process every parent, especially
According to my mother, I had been a terror when it came to potty training me, for she’d placed me on the potty and said, “Do do-do” or Do cocky,” I’d started to make a fuss and began to cry. My mother then had to take me off the potty and do everything she used to do.
I loved how my mother treated me once I made it in my diapers. My mother placed me on a counter, removed my messy diaper and then started to wash and dry my bottom gently. She then rubbed some cream on me, followed by some baby powder, all of which left me smelling like a toddler should. I didn’t see any love when she wanted to train me to use the potty.
When we as children get older these days, we want to be like a grownup and treated like one. The drawings in this book show it's very young readers that every older person uses a potty, a potty that is bigger than the one they are going to be using. And if they are going to be an older person, that they need to be potty trained.
For wanting to teach its young reader about potty training so they can become the older person they wish to become, my inner-child and I am giving the author and illustrator the 5 STARS, they’ve learned.

Overall, this is a wonderful book for young children who, as a general rule, will appreciate that their bodily functions are normal. It puts defecation into context as a perfectly normal part of being alive, regardless of species.
The illustrations are well done, in lively colors, cheerful and
Those pages would be better without the images of humans inappropriately pooping without consideration of others, the environment, and health concerns.
If I were reading this book to or with young children, I would have to stop and discuss the inappropriate images and why they should not be considered okay. That undermines the positive tone and message of the book. If the book has not yet been finalized, I would recommend the pages mentioned (and others if I missed any) be redone to exclude the inappropriate images. If the book is already published, I hope if it goes to a new printing that those images be improved. It would make the book more of a classic and broaden its appeal. Children will love the repetitive text, the reassurance that what they are doing is a perfectly normal function, but they do need some visual reinforcement of what is and what is not acceptable when they poop.

personable humans and creatures. They function well with the repetitive, reassuring text. That said, there are several pages that bother me: one where the campers are pooping on the ground in the open with no consideration given to basic sanitation concerns (no one expects non-humans to worry about that, but human waste can be very toxic); another involves climbers pooping on each other (not a good message to send to children); yet others have humans pooping in the water, off of boats, and from the air. Sorry, none of these images should be used in the way they are because children will take them literally until they are taught otherwise. Why confuse them?Those pages would be better without the images of humans inappropriately pooping without consideration of others, the environment, and health concerns.

Does it deliver a clear message to children? Yes.
Does it help dispel the taboo of poop? Yes?
Did I enjoy reading it? Nope. It was disgusting. One page in particular made me want to gag. Maybe check it out from a library or borrow it from someone if you’re curious. If you like this kind of visual
