About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler begins showing curiosity about the bathroom or if your preschooler feels anxious or embarrassed about using the potty. This classic title serves as a gentle, matter-of-fact introduction to biology, stripping away the stigma often associated with bodily functions. By showing that every living creature eats and subsequently poops, it frames the act as a universal, healthy, and even interesting part of life. The book uses clear, bold illustrations to compare the various shapes, sizes, and locations of animal waste before transitioning to human behavior. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to normalize the potty training process without using overly flowery or high-pressure language. It fosters a sense of self-confidence and belonging by reminding children that they are simply doing what every other creature on the planet does too.
