Written for kids with encopresis.
The action and dialogue in the story really connect the reader with the feelings and emotions being experienced by the boy in the story. Well written and flows nicely. One of the better encopresis books I've seen.
Language is simple enough for most kids. Too long for a young toddler but maybe perfect for a 4-5 year old I'm guessing? Although there's lots of information, the story doesn't feel didactic.
