I am not sure why but very young children seem to go through a phase of fascination about poo. So when I got this book I read it to my very own “poo-ologists” my two grandsons. They were immediately interested.
It is tastefully done and the illustrations are comical. I know that sounds strange given the subject material!
A Daddy rat goes on an excursion to the zoo with his to young rat children. Just like we have done with the boys he firmly warned that there would be no more poo talk. Staying a bit behind and out of his hearing range they not only discuss it but allow their imaginations to soar. They were hilariously creative.
This was not limited to zoo animals but assigning imaginary entertaining poo to other creatures and even people of different occupations. The boy’s favorite was the shiny astronaut poo. My two littles appropriately “ew-ed” and yucked at differently places in the book, But the smile on their faces and their intense interest showed they were duly impressed! The boys thoroughly enjoyed the book!
I received this book LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program and Tundra Books in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated are my own.
