Zoo Poo: A First Toilet Training Book

by Richard Morgan

Overview

A first toilet training book that every kid needs to ease their worries with laughter.

In this potty humor picture book, a little boy visits the zoo, where he learns that "monkeys doo-doo right in front of you!" And "giraffes doo-doo from way up high," but it's not something he'll try. No, the boy doesn't live at the zoo, so that's not what he'll do—because he's leaned to sit on the toilet!

Parents who share this humorous picture book with their child will discover that it's a pleasant and positive way to introduce them to toilet training. The color illustrations on every page will make boys and girls laugh as they begin to comprehend the story's point. The book concludes with confidence-boosting tips that parents and toddlers can read together.

Perfect for fans of fun titles like Everybody Poops or Sesame Street's P is for Potty and other silly potty-time encouragements!

Editorial Reviews

A trip to the zoo provides Morgan (Oops, Sorry!) with the setting for a chirpy exegesis aimed at the potty-ready crowd. A round-faced boy with three wisps of hair visits eight habitats, taking note of each species' distinctive method of "doo-doo." As balls of dung exit the back of a pachyderm, the boy holds his nose and sees that "Elephants doo-doo bigger than you. Plop!" On the next spread, the boy and a giraffe watch with approving smiles as the latter "doo-doo[s] from way up high," and a toucan unfortunately leaves its droppings on the toddler's head. The boy, however, knows he's special because he uses a toilet-and the final spread finds him in the bathroom while all the zoo dwellers look on (the elephant helpfully offers a roll of toilet tissue in its trunk). Morgan's crayoned outlines and simply rendered hero give the pictures a childlike feel, while his animals exhibit a more expressive sense of shape, texture and movement-the tiger is particularly striking. The book does not have the hip artiness or tantalizing details of the genre's progenitor, Everyone Poops, but it's genial enough to elicit giggles. Standard toileting tips-for parents and kids-can be found in the preface and afterword. Ages 2-4. (June) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
