What's not to like?! Two of my favourite things - puzzles and penis.
So the conversation with my other half went something like this -
'Can you take your pants off and sit still while I do this puzzle book please?' I asked
'Why do I need to be naked for that?' he had that look on his face like I'm not all there in the head (he uses that look far too much these days)
'Because you have to put your penis through the hole' I don't know why he's questioning it, who wouldn't want my hands by their prize jewels?!
'Fine.'
My only complaint is that it was too short - the book, not the penis.
And hey, the penis pokey book can lead to a poking penis. Fun all round

This is a simple board book with a round hole cut out through the (w)hole centre of the book. There is no text, just pictures. One spread features a peeled banana - with the banana missing, another a fireman and hose with the hose missing, it is for you or your male friend to insert the missing item! There is only one problem, the hole is ummm a little errr how to put it, well its a little on the small side for the local (Caribbean) populace, but you could always use a banana!

Underground reading
Don’t ask me how I came across this book. Let’s just say that writers in general and erotica writers in particular find some strange corners of the internet while doing research.
This is not a review. Just a heads up for those of my readers best equipped to handle this.
OK. It’s a board book with a massive plot hole in it, and several stiff pages with amusing graphics.
This is a book where the reader can insert themselves into the action, become one of the characters. A banana, a hot dog, a rocketship. Not a great deal of plot, but I guess the act of reading creates its own narrative. You supply the climax, as it were, and I’d like to make the point that reading this can be a team effort.
Not recommended for the ladies monthly book group. “My husband was engrossed, but I just couldn’t get into it. More tea, Lydia?”
You’d think that this would also suit the grandmother crowd, reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to the littlies, but again, not equipped to do justice to the book, and if grandpa lends a helping hand, then you’re really just kicking off a lifetime of horror and possibly a jail term. Resist the urge. Although juvenile, this is not a book for the kiddies.
And, despite the title of this post, probably not best suited to reading on the subway, but if you want to get your footlong involved on the morning commute, you could be a YouTube star. One way or another. I’d love to hear (and see) reading experiences. (And yes, there are videos online, Virginia, including one where a dog becomes part of the video review. Kind of a mixed bag, and the stream peters out in other directions fairly soon, but worth cocking an eye over.)
Worth going to Amazon and hitting the “Look Inside” feature. And do read the reviews while you are there.
Best bought new. Careful of paper cuts. Used copies can be had, but not recommended without protection. And gloves.
Also by the same author – Christopher Behrens – The Penis Pokey Activity Book (“PEN IS INCLUDED”) and Penis Parade which is the German version: the orginal and wurst.
For this title, I especially liked Amazon’s “Customers also viewed” feature. A great way to explore some of the less well-travelled paths of the Amazon warehouse.
Well, there you have it. My civic duty is done. To sum up: not a page-turner.

A copy was donated to our second hand shop. Everyone had a quick read, hands were thoroughly cleaned and the book was scrapped.
Would likely be a fun gift for a bachelor party, but don't buy a used copy.

Luckily, no permanent paper cuts and it didn't make my penis look small. Worth the "read".

I thought this was going to be a great experience. But one of my best friends ended up using the book while riding passenger on a trip i piloted from NYC to Utica. I decided, since the book was unable to be cleansed, that I would never be able to fully engross myself in it.

Véritable labyrinthe intellectuel, la lecture de Penis Pokey nécessite une concentration hors pair et une connaissance générale qui pourra bonifier les innombrables références et allusions cachées au fil du texte de Chistopher Behrens. L'auteur nous propose ici non seulement une épopée grandiose et novatrice, mais surtout une proposition de lecture sortant des sentiers battus, jusque là jamais explorés dans l'histoire de la littérature.
Est-ce qu'on enseignera Christopher Behrens dans les cours d'Histoire de l'Art, à l'avenir? Le temps nous le dira, mais ce recueil d'apparence anodine en a tout de même beaucoup à nous apprendre.
Le concept est bien simple : un trou pratiqué au centre du manuel nous propose à mots couverts d'y insérer un pénis, lequel deviendra théâtre de moult incarnations aussi différentes qu'ingénieuses : tantôt un serpent, tantôt le monstre du Loch Ness, d'autres fois le tuyau d'arrosage d'un pompier : autant d'itérations novatrices et spectaculaires que l'imagination humaine peut générer. L'audace de l'entreprise est telle que la lecture intégrale du livre en un trait en est presqu'impossible, tant la saveur et l'ingéniosité du projet se ressentent à la moindre page.
Penis Pokey est un livre complètement inclusif, ne s'adressant pas à un genre en particulier. On voudra le relire à plusieurs reprises, tant la subtilité des thèmes s'imprègne en nous longtemps après l'avoir parcouru. C'est un livre qui change le parcours d'un artiste, dont on se rappelle pour le restant de notre existence, et qui - je l'espère - marquera les siècles de par son ingéniosité et son caractère dénonciateur et, j'ose le dire, nécessaire.

Oh.
My.
God.
What a hoot! Jason Rekulak, the publisher at Quirk Books shared it with the 2017 Vermont Booktopia. Everyone in the room was hysterical with laughter.

Super cute book......Just don't buy it used, cause you don't know where it's been, and yes, there's a very good chance it's been THERE.

Interactive book.

Received this at a Christmas party, the same year I received "Farts; a spotter's guide." I don't know why. Perhaps it was written in a post somewhere that I needed books for my bathroom, but this book came out of nowhere and it is absolutely hysterical. I hope everyone see it and no one uses it (ewh!)

This book was funny. This isn't a book that you read by yourself. The pages can be hard to turn when you're getting into the story but that's where a gentle set of extra hands comes in. The only thing that I didn't like was that my penis was a little dark for the man at the end. Maybe they should sell a wider variety of colors.

this book has no words. i love it.

I didn't do any of the suggested activities in this book, but I imagined doing them which was kinda funny.

Took me (us) a few days, but I (we) found this book to be entirely juvenile and extremely entertaining. Definitely not for kids.
Special thanks to Thomas and.. "Thor"...
