Justine Avery is the #1 international bestselling and award-winning author of stories large and small, for all. Born in the American Midwest and raised all over the world, she is inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by everything around her and excitedly noting the stories that abound all around. As an avid reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists and surprises she can’t even predict herself.
Avery has either lived in or explored all 50 states of the union, over 36 countries, and all but one continent; she lost count after moving 30-some times before the age of 20. She’s intentionally jumped out of airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba dived unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded automobile frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba, Japan, and masterminded prosperous internet businesses—to name a few adventures. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree that life has never required, and at age 28, she sold everything she owned and quit corporate life—and her final "job"—to freelance and travel the world as she always dreamed of. And she’s never looked back.
Aside from her native English, Avery speaks a bit of Japanese and a bit more Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving mixture of Midwestern American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate British vocabulary and rhythm, and she says "eh"—like the Kiwis, not the Canadians. She currently lives on either side of "the pond" with her husband, acclaimed British film director and author Devon Avery, and other creatures. She writes from wherever her curiosity takes her.
Avery loves to connect with fellow readers and creatives, explorers and imaginers, and cordially invites you to say “hello”—or konnichiwa.
This was a fun read, although I think Everybody Poops was a better book. In this one, the text is over a lot of wonderful illustrations, so the text becomes hard to read and kids can't see the illustrations very well. On some pages, the illustrations are also very small.
Second, and this may sound weird coming from a woman, I found it strange that all the male illustrations in the first half of the book were sitting down. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but if a parent is trying to help their son pee standing up, it would be helpful to have that represented also. I say that, but then I don't know how you would do that. There is one illustration of this in the book with a male figure peeing off the top of a mountain. Hilarious!
Overall, this book makes for an engaging and fun read with your kids.
I received this book free. This is my honest opinion.
This is a great book for potty training. Very cute illustrations, but some where to small for a child to see and at times the words were over the picture.
Another reason for a one star deduction, although the author is female, the first part of the book had male illustrations and they were sitting down. If you are trying to teach your son the proper way to pee, the figure should be standing.
Otherwise very cute book (It did not take long to read, I just kept going back to it)
Fun little book to teach your little one about how everyone pees. I think I like everybody poops better. I do find it weird that all the boys and men in the book sit down to pee but since its a teaching book for little ones I understand.
