Perfect personification of poop. Cute fictional representation and personification of poop that goes on an adventure. This and "Bloop bloop" taught my son to poop in the potty. As the oldest he learns from reading books so this was PERFECT. Buy them both and if your child loves books and is biologically ready they will poop in the toilet- regardless of how they feel about it now.

This book is disgusting yet my child is enthusiastic about squashing out a Softy. So gross. But she’s pooping. Four stars!

Wow! You just never know what you're going to find at the library. I got quite the laugh from this and couldn't help think how disappointing it would be as the child, after reading this book, to not have your poo talk to you.
