"An elephant makes a big poop. A mouse makes a tiny poop," and so the text goes, describing all sorts of creatures and people who eat and thus defecate. |

This book explores every type of poop imaginable. Its size and the owner of the various types of poop from an elephant to a camel. Three year olds are fascinated by the subject. I bought this book when my son was two and he did not express any interest until about 3. Young girls may be interested sooner. This book explains that everyone poops and that poop is the byproduct of our food. Written in clear language with simple and tasteful illustrations, especially considering the subject, this book is for all parents of children who will soon be potty training. Highly recommended. There is simply no other book like it. |

This book helps toddlers put into context how they fit into the animal kingdom, and the natural things all animals do. It teaches them to be comfortable with - without shame - the move from being a diaper-clad baby to a big kid. The drawings are charming! I bought this book for a friends who runs a day care center and got a very positive reaction. |

The book "Everyone Poops" is not your average drama. Its a timeless tale of the struggle of Poop Vs. Mankind. A battle in which has raged on for centuries. The battlefield being the bathroom, and the politicians being the people making the poop. We learn that poop on its self, is the evil in this world. The pooper is none other than mankind itself. This book is powerful, and a great read. Its tantalizing grip on the reader is incredible. |

I found that this book can be used to help potty train children. It gives the child a fun way and simple way to understand what is happening to them when they poop. They realize that everyone that eats does it, so it is okay to let it out in the potty. I would definatley recommend this book to those parents who are having trouble getting their child to poop in the potty! |

People look to books that address issues important to them. Everyone wants a book that relates to their own world view and literature that either reaffirms or extends that view; Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi is a perfect example of this.
For a child nearing the age when he or she begins to become aware of and acquainted with his or her body and bodily functions, this book offers insight and a better understanding of a process that has become a foremost issue with which they are concerned, and to which they pay great attention. For a child, the potty-training process can be one of either great defiance or one of great achievement and accomplishment. This book illustrates to children that they are part of the natural rhythms of the universe and the overall normal order of things.
The bright illustrations of fun and exotic animals as they pose with their excrement encourage the children that pooping is a matter of fact. Everyone Poops also has an underlying diversity theme illustrated by the emphasis placed on the different characters and their individual fecal matter. This sends the message that although all of our bodies are similar we also have individual variations, a theme that can be applied to other lessons that children will later learn. |

This book rocks. I have never read such an intriging book on the stuff that comes out of the anus. I love having it read to me on Christmas morning. It is a great conversationalist piece, and fun for the whole family. By "Everyone poops" and it will surely become a family heir-loom! |

Colorful pictures and realistic poop photos. The book starts off with a picture of an elephant and the poop of an elephant. The saying is An Elephant makes a big poop. Then it goes to a mouse and his type of poop.
Then a page devoted to whether a camel does two hump poops or one and we have a page of fish and birds, Another two pages of animals shown from their behinds with their poops. Can you identify which animal goes with which poop? The book tells you there are different shapes, sizes and smells to poop.
There are two pages devoted to a picture of a snake asking which is the snake's behind. My son spent a long time tracing the snake with his fingers when he came to these pages. He loves snakes, and we had one on our front porch not too long ago. Wonder if his poop is still out there, now that I know what it looks like?
The page my son breezed over shows a man with a pipe reading the paper, a boy sitting on a toilet, a boy on a duck potty and then the most realistic poop picture in the whole book, a baby sitting on the floor wailing with its legs in the air with its hands holding the legs and the poop sitting there in the diaper for me to see.
I would quickly turn that page too. You see how kittens like to clean up after themselves and a rhino pays no attention to his poop. One of the last pages is a boy showing his duty in the toilet, two turds to be exact, and ready to flush it to the great beyond. The next two pages has animals eating in a line from the Giraffe to the boy at the table . Turn the page and there are the same animals lined up along with the boy and their duties left behind. And of course, the saying is Everyone Poops.
My only regret is they do not show the boy putting on a pull up. But they did not have them in Japan in 1977 and the book was translated into English. This is a book for the kids who have yet to be toilet trained or are in the process. I think it is geared towards the age group of 3-5 and up for special needs kids. |
