- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2025I love this kid's book and gave it as a baby shower gift.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015PROs: This book has worked wonders for my 2.5 year old toddler. We started reading it to him a day before starting potty training (we put him in big boy underwear on a Saturday morning) and we read it several times a day during the next two to three weeks. He would request it (together with Julie Markes' "Where's the poop?") almost every time he used the potty, especially when he needed to - you guessed it - poop. I strongly believe that the story line and images helped him understand, verbalize and accept the whole process. What I liked in particular:
- Simple graphics with bold colors: just the right amount of image and information on each page.
- The story line flows logically and there's plenty of room for you to add your own sounds and gestures: be creative and it will amuse your toddler tremendously. You can use it to build up vocabulary. For instance, on the 'All living things eat...", name all the animals (lion, pig) and the things they eat (meat, acorns) and your child will soon repeat them back to you. Try to imagine together what the child on the same page is eating: is it your toddler's favorite foods or (sigh!) some of the foods you would like your toddler to eat.
- My son liked to play a 'look and find' game to identity the poop on every page: for some reason, he found the snake page hilarious as he would trace the trajectory of food from the snake's mouth until it comes out as poop; he got better and better at following the snake's curves with his finger, which is great because soon after I started doing tracing exercises with him to prepare him for writing.
- The flap on the last page where mommy says "Excuse me! I am making a poop! Please shut the door!". I used the same words when my son would try to follow me to the restroom and he did get the message after a while.
(Faux)CONs: Be ready to read this with your toddler TENS of times. But as long as everything makes its way into the potty and you also have fun in the process, it is SO worth it.
My son lost interest in this book about one month later, but baby # 2 is on her way and this will be cheerfully used again in a couple of years.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024One of the most fun books there is about learning where poop comes from. I am a Toddler teacher and this book is always a hit with the children. When the kids are starting to potty train, I'll get this book out and read it to them. It has cute but not explicit illustrations and is just a fun way to explain things to young children about movements from down below. I laugh every time I read it them!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2025But toddler likes, and quite funny!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025Love this children's book for toddlers learning potty training.
I gift this book to new moms.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 to 5 year olds love this book
This book is a favorite at nursery schools. My 2 1/2 year old great neice was fascinated, I had to read it 10 times day!! It made potty training into an interesting idea for her!! 4 and 5 year old kids find it hysterically funny. The illustrations and simple text make it easy to understand. It is a delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice!
I don't love the graphics, but my daughter really really liked! It gives example of different animals and what their poops look like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone poo's
I originally had heard about this book from the owner of Sleeman breweries who has used this book to train their grandchildren and told me that it would be a very resourceful tool for children who are currently potty training! I must say this really does make a great gift for those little tykes who are that stage as it is easy to read and very committed to letting your little one know that it is okay to take that No. 2...Like the book say's "Everyone eats...So everyone poops".

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite what we were expecting
its just images of various people and animals pooing its a bit gross, the 2 year old was fascinated but didn't really hold interest for too long
- KimmyReviewed in Australia on June 11, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
My daughter started holding in her poop after going through constipation at 18 months. We dealt with it for a whole year giving her movicol daily to soften her poop which was only way to get her to not hold it in.
Since reading her this book, she's no longer needing Movicol and can poop solid poo without holding it in! FINALLY!
