Reviews

[Christina]

Such a cute and witty book. Your entire family will love it!

[Gina Sims]

So Much Fun!!

What a fun, clever book! The play on “potty” humor and darling illustrations are amazing. Love, Love, Love… Should be in every home with kids of all ages!

[Jessica Strait]

Funny concept, fully fleshed out, but like also kinda weird, meandering, and like it was written to fit in the jokes.

[Melanie Gaum]

Features an impressive number of euphemisms for pooping.

[Kaleidoscope Kat]

Disappointing. Not clever or witty.

[Candace]

This book is the perfect combination of funny, witty and cute. My 2 year old loves it and asks to read ‘the potty book’. I love everything about this adorable and clever story! And if you have a husband that takes 30 min to 1 hour in the bathroom you will appreciate it even more!
