A Feel Better Book for Little Poopers

Let’s get stinky, literally! I love the illustrations and writing in this book. The writing develops and maintains a great rhythm and rhyme and also tells a great story about helping kids learn it is okay to go when they need to poop. I really appreciate the page that discusses how everyone from superheroes to princesses to presidents have to go potty. I think it really relates to kids well to know this is a normal thing that everyone does.

I love that the illustrations include boys and girls of many races. I like that they chose to show a variety of kids needing to go potty. My favorite illustration is the page where they show scenes of home, a friend’s house, and school by painting on a roll of toilet paper. I think the illustrator was very clever.

As a mother in the midst of potty training, I think this is a spectacular book that I love to have to help my daughter know going potty, specifically going poop, is a part of life and it’s not scary. Both of my children, three and six, paid attention to the entire book. They first thought it was funny because of the title being about poop, but soon realized the book was about learning how to go potty.

My Kids’ Favorite Part: the title.
