💩 Buckle up because today’s literary escapade takes us into the delightful world of… drumroll… poo!

💩 In this ode to the unmentionable, we dive headfirst into the pages adorned with—you guessed it—oodles of animal poo! 🐾💩

💩 Curious kids will learn about different types of animal droppings... from the dainty pellets to the majestic mounds, no turd is left unturned!

💩 But there’s more! Kids will learn about sanitary treatment facilities and how poo can be used as plant food. Plus, there are some cute poo facts at the back of the book. For example, did you know that there are four bags of astronaut poo on the moon?

💩 I bet the author had a blast diligently rendering various forms of excrement!

💩 Why do books like this resonate with young readers? Because they’re delightfully silly and, yes, a tad gross. As kids giggle (or perhaps gross out), they’re also absorbing knowledge. It’s a win-win situation! Plus, they’re developing a lifelong love affair with books. 📖❤️

Thank you @Netgalley and the Collective Book Studio for an eArc of this book, which I have read and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Fox and Rabbit are spotting different types of poo and identifying the animals that make them. First, they find “smelly, gushy, icky poo,” which turns out to be doggy doo. Next, they spot droppings in a litter box and identify these as kitty poop. Continuing on, Fox and Rabbit spot and identify many different kinds of poo, guano and feces, which leads them to wonder… where does it all go? A diagram follows, showing what happens to human poo after it gets flushed – explaining and highlighting the benefits of the wastewater treatment plant process. Illustrations and examples of the usefulness of animal feces are then shared. In the end, the answer to “what is poo?” is explained, and an informational page of other terminology is included. This is a good book to read aloud to younger readers who are curious about the world of poo, and is a great addition to libraries promoting education in vocabulary enrichment, scientific learning and everyday inquiry. Amusing, educative, and interesting; a read that encourages playful investigation.

This was a fun book about #2 for kids. My youngest giggled through it (appropriately read this as we were potty training), and my oldest enjoyed it as well. Fun and still informative.

The title grabbed my attention, primarily because poop/bathroom jokes are a thing between me and my father. I really liked the patchwork art style of the pictures. I also like that this book was not just about the different kinds of poo from a variety of animals, but it was informative about what happens to our poo when it goes through the sewage system or how it can be helpful for sending information (e.g., doctor's visits, sensing danger, etc.).

This book is cute for little ones learning about poop. The illustrations are fitting for the story and different from most other books. The words are simple to help with beginning readers.

A basic funny book that will tell kids everything that poos. Big Poos and little poos they will see it all and I am sure will be laughing.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

My five year old loves anything related to poop, but this fell flat a bit more than some of our other "poop" books. Initially it felt like more of a simple board book style of writing that would appeal to toddlers and young preschoolers, but then suddenly was much more in-depth with the info on waste management. It almost felt like two different books.

Silly book that would have kids giggling and parents smiling. Informative at a child’s level this book explains that everything poos.

This book is full of… poo! My 3 year old loved it and thought it was hilarious.
It is the perfect book for potty training and to read while the sit. It shows kids that every creature poops, and what that poop is called. Funny, slightly gross, but over all enjoyable.

My kids loved this book. It feels a little weird at first, but when I asked if they'd want to read a book about poo.. they both said yes lol. There were lots of great facts and some ones we didn't know...like square wombat poop!

This gave my 3 young boys many new words to giggle over for weeks. And all were super accurate facts! Which one of my kiddos is very concerned with. Easy read for young readers and lots of giggles!

A cute book about poop. I actually learned something about what happens to our poop when it gets to the wastewater plant.

This book is the perfect read aloud for preschool and kindergarten age children that are curious about poop. Filled with bright and colorful illustrations, this book examines how all animals poop and how poop plays a role in the whole ecosystem. The best part of this book are the true and fascinating poop facts at the end! Thank you NetGalley for the advance reader copy.

A book all about Poo. This book talks about all different kinds of poo animals make as well as what happens to poo when it is flushed down the toilet. Everything you ever wanted to know about poo, and some you didn’t is in this book.

I thought the book was a little gross, but my seven year old loved it. She thought it was super funny and it made her curious about how poo is recycled. Will the book is a little silly overall, it seems like it is a hit with the targeted audience.

Overall, the book is a good way to introduce a bit more of the science behind poo and the act of pooping. For kids who are kind of obsessed and of a certain age, this will encourage a conversation about faces and all of its many forms. It is very much an early reader, whereas The Truth about Poop is for an older reader. And that's probably why Ooo...Poo! isn't as solid as it could be (pun not intended). The story is a bit disjointed, and what starts out with a bit of rhyme quickly turns into just words on a page. And as a result, they aren't really structured well as a story or even as information. The author could probably have pulled together the pieces with a story to bring them all together and, in doing that, would have made this a better book overall. Just going from animal to animal to talk about the name for their poop or introducing how poop gets flushed through the filtration system isn't the best way to really weave this together.

The illustrations are nice. And I did learn something even as an older reader.

If you are looking for a fun story to kick off maybe having your younger child understand a bit about the process of pooping, then this may do the trick. Not the greatest book out there on the subject, but decent enough and definitely geared towards the younger set. If you want to really get into the nitty gritty of poo and have a more mature reader, then you'll probably want to skip this one and go to The Truth about Poop or similar.

My four year old thought this book was hilarious. He’s at that age were any time poop is mentioned he laughs hysterically. I could see this becoming a book he will want to read over and over. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the text simple, yet engaging!

How is poo cute?! I don’t know but read this one with my son and we just laughed. It’s a quick, colorful, and entertaining book.

This was a really funny story about poo I know my two boys would be rolling if I read it to them lol very simple though so definitely for the younger kids for sure!

I will never not read a book about poo. And I have never been disappointed. This poo book is particularly excellent. It's a picture book with hilarious pictures, but it's also incredibly informative. You can actually learn about different kinds of poop, the uses of poop, and cool trivia. I highly encourage everyone to look up the sloth poo dance online. Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me read this
