Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi (2001, Paperback, Illustrated)

This book was briefly shown in one scene in the movie "Dan In Real Life" starring Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, TV's The Office).

Acting on my own curiosity, I recently checked out the book, "Everyone Poops" by Taro Gomi, at my local library and found out it was somewhat amusing and may be very useful for my preschooler whom is currently in her second month of potty training.

The books cover was not what I expected to see after opening it and viewing the colorful illustrations contained within. This book shows several different types of fecal matter with a humorous outlook from the miniscule size of bug poop to the enormity of elephant poop. The book illustrates the difference in size, shape and color. The only thing missing is the smell.....scratch n' sniff anyone??......LOL!

Anyways, in the end it has helped my child grasp the understanding of using the potty and understanding her bodily functions. It's natural, we all poop and as long as she doesn't fling or finger paint with it - I'm cool with that. It seems funny and we all seem to snicker every time we here the word "poop", at least I do...... Call me immature, childish or demented.......I believe a lot of us can learn to relax a bit more and laugh a little more often. -A.S.E.,LLC

We bought the book because our daughter is 2, and learning abut the potty. We love the book because it has simple pictures and words, that she can easily recognize. She wants to read it again and again, and asks for it by name. (Read Poops Mummy, read poops!) I recommend this book to anyone who is about to enter the potty zone!
