This book was so fun to read. I think this would book would be very helpful when teaching your little one how to learn to use the potty. Great potty training tool that I would be happy to purchase and add to my collection of books,

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The title of this book caught my eye. What a fun way to teach kids about potty training. It's often such a battle, that any humor can help the process. The pictures and text was fun. I think it's a great addition to any house that is beginning the battle of the potty!

Not going to lie - thoroughly enjoyed wonderfully daft and colourful potty-training book. It's incredibly silly, features plenty of farting, and has one child wanting permission to fire when having a poo, which is simply fantastic.

I would definitely buy this for my children, and I'm pretty certain I can think of a few grown ups would appreciate receiving this as a present for birthdays or Christmas too.

Classic stuff.

Cute, funny kids books. It's poop! What more is there to say? Made me chuckle. I'll probably get it for my children's section at the library.

Let me say upfront that I adore this book. I love when a special book crosses my desk to review and I can feel in my heart that it is going to be winner. This is one of those books. It is funny and witty and kids will just eat it up. It is formatted in board book fashion so wee ones will be able to handle it well and use it often.

This mission of toilet training is done in true military style. The army sergeant drills the trainees giving them the proper protocol to get the job done right. The diaper-clad soldiers respond to his directions with a snap of their heels and a smart salute. By obeying orders they achieve success. They must locate the target: the toilet, deploy the payload: pee and poo, destroy the evidence: flush, and then make a clean getaway: wash hand thoroughly, leave no germ behind. Mission accomplished!

The sergeant cautions them that the war is not over yet. They will have to fight to keep their pants from being soiled but soon...

"Every stinking one of you will be a full-fledged, underwear -wearing, POO-TENENT!"

Shock (oh oh I pooed/peed myself)... to Aweeee!!!! ( I must relieve myself) and Victory!!!! ( I won the battle my underwear is still clean!!!).

The author has included a fun sticker chart at the end of the book so little ones can plot their progress starting as a Private, then Specialist, Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel and finally the highest rank of General. Hurray!!! Look mom and dad I answered the CALL OF DOODIE!!! I won the war. I highly recommend this delightful book.

This is a very humorous book illustrating the potty steps via "military" style training. The pictures support the text and are as funny as the storyline. While I wouldn't recommend it for toddlers that you start to train, it would work well for older, reluctant potty training children though it may appeal to boys more than girls. If you just want a potty book to make you laugh or you have an older child who is just learning or needs reinforcement, this may be a good choice. Our potty trained four year old thought it was hysterical.

A Potty Training Book

This is a book I requested and the review is voluntary.
This is such a clever and witty book about potty training. It has cute illustrations and a fun message!
Small ones will relate and find it interesting. A real winner!

Very cute potty training book.. I will be buying it for our library.

This is an entirely new take on a potty training book. It is both fun and adventurous. And is sure to bring about lots of toilet humor.

I received an arc from Netgalley. This book was a great book . I read this book with my young daughter and we thought it was hilarious. Great for parents getting ready to go through the potty training stage. Keeps the process humorous!

As a first time mom who is about to enter the battle of potty training a little boy... I LOVED this children's book. The illustrations are adorable and the delivery of the how to mess of using a potty was entertainingly perfect! We all know little boys love toots, and this book takes a humorous and entertaining approach in teaching tots (boys and girls alike) to use the potty. Not only this, but the wording used also manages to convey that using the bathroom is a private matter and stresses the importance of clean up. Add to that the chart that can be marked with stickers setting different rankings (Private to General) serving as a fun tool to keep your child interested in practicing on the potty. I'll be purchasing it for my little private when it is released!

This is super adorable. The premise is that your little soldier uses military terminology to help toilet train and its a great idea for those with father's or mother's in the military to show how grown up they are. It's also a fun way to get dad's involved in toilet training. I think it's mostly geared towards American audiences as I know no one else who calls it 'doodie' and they would be more likely to have military families.
On the whole it's a sweet book, designed to make both adults and children giggle and the little training pants checklist in the back is great.

Call of Doodie: A Potty Training Book by Donald Lemke is available from Capstone August 1, 2018.

Who is ready to be a Poo-Tenent? The silliest drill sergeant ever leads a diverse cast of underwear clad soldiers through the necessary missions to achieve potty training success! Humorous, lighthearted, and full of great illustrations, this book gives children all the basics to complete a potty mission.

Thank you to Netgalley and Capstone for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A fun 'board book' for kids...an original concept(?), fun attempt/look at toilet training! Great colored illustrations that adults can certainly appreciate....& I bet little kids would really get a kick out of too! This book brought a smile to my face right from the start, at the cover ....& the smile grew all the way thru the book! It'd be so much fun to read this to my little nieces! I bet that even 'all ready potty trained' kids would have fun reading it too! I like the little chart at the end... What a fun book!
I received this e-ARC from NetGalley, free....& only in return for my own fair & honest review.
