Where’s the Poop? by Julie Markes
My rating: 5/5 cats
the word “poop” makes me laugh. i’m not proud of it, but i’m also unashamed. i figure i have one or two good qualities in my arsenal View Spoiler », enough to overlook my horrifically sophomoric sense of humor.
“poop”
you can’t tell me that isn’t a funny sound, even if feces-as-objects make you squeamish.
so – yeah, i don’t have a kid. i don’t have anyone in my life that i am currently potty-training, so i can’t review this based on its efficacy towards its intended goal, but natalie brought this over to me because she knows what makes me giggle, so i can definitely review it for its effect upon me.
i’m not quite sure how this functions as a toilet-training tome, but it’s a hoot. the layout is simple: observe all these animals in nature and lift the flaps until you find where they have poo’d. elephants, tigers, monkeys – find the poop, kids!
btw, penguin poop, in cartoon form, is particularly gross.
eventually it circles back to humans. you are in a bathroom, lifting the flaps to find where a kid has pooped. (hint – it is not in the medicine cabinet – no child is that limber) i mean, at this point, you have to start examining your own life, and what choices you have made that have led you to be flipping through a children’s book, looking for poop, but we all have our things, hey?
spoiler alert: each page has three different flaps to lift and explore (LGM), and far from being a random scattering, the poop is always under the very last flap. as greg says, “poop is always in the last place you look…”
a good time was had by all.
poop.
