What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the different ways in which animals relieve themselves. Which animal's toileting habits seemed the most weird or funny to you? How is it different from the way humans poop?

What's the story?

What's the story?
Ever wonder how a camel poops? A fish? A raccoon? Your child probably has. Taro Gomi scientifically compares and contrasts how animals of all kinds eliminate waste in this amusing and direct toilet-training book. You might be squeamish about reading and looking at page after page of poop, but your kids will be laughing out loud.

 

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
No other toilet-training book gets kids giggling as fast as Everyone Poops. With humor and bold, unembellished illustrations, Taro Gomi answers the questions kids want to ask, such as "Which end is the snake's behind?" and "What does whale poop look like?" The text scientifically analyzes the many different ways in which animals relieve themselves, and the graphic pictures of all of these variations will delight children.

Read This Review For A Laugh! :]
Funny story about this book. So I went to this little kid's house to babysit her. She kept saying penis and stuff about pooping. I was VERY concerned so I told her mom. Her mom casually said "OH it's from this everyone poops book" with the most serious expression ever. I pretty much pooped my pants from laughing so hard. Can't say I've read the book myself, but just thought I'd share the whole penis thing makes me thing it shouldn't be out on too many kids' shelves unless you have a sibling or parent that wants a laugh.

Should take this book off market... Very stupid
I have a consern about nudity because of show of butts and other private area. No kids should look at penis` and butts at ANY age.

Seriously?
Ok, REALLY? It has references to my private parts. I thought they were supposed to be private! You guys can't get away with it by rating it OK for 2! NEVER!

It's true: Everyone Poops
It was our son's first book on the road to learning about going pee and poop - it helped us move toward potty training.

Poop
This book is totally inappropriate! On for ages 2 and up? They say "Poop" plenty of times. It's totally inappropriate for little kids to learn about poop. What's so funny about looking at children's penises? That's inappropriate you know! I even hate looking at poop! This book is Crap! SELL IT!!!!!!

I LOVE EVERYONE POOPS!
I love Everyone Poops! I read it every night before I go to bed and every morning before I go to school! I know I too old for this kind of stuff but I need to know how to poop! Everyone should read this book in their mid to late 30's for fun and information! But this book its aewsome!
