What Parents Should Know
Children find this book immensely funny and love to point
out the excrement from each animal. Colorful paintings show
animals from around the world.
Common Sense Media Review
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: "Which end is the snake's behind?" and "What does whale
poop look like?"
Originally published in Japan in 1977, "Everyone Poops" pushes against many parents' reluctance to discuss feces and reminds us that going to the bathroom is natural. The text scientifically analyzes the many different ways animals relieve themselves -- some on the go, some sitting still, and others by burying it. Humans, Gomi tells listeners, do it in one place: the toilet. (Babies, of course, do it in a diaper.) The graphic pictures of all of these variations will delight children.
