A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is showing anxiety, physical tension, or resistance specifically surrounding bowel movements during the potty training process. It is the ideal choice for children who are comfortable with urinating in the potty but become fearful or 'hold it' when it comes to number twos. The story uses lighthearted verse and personification to transform a potentially scary bodily function into a friendly, non-threatening character named Mr. Poo. By framing the act of going to the bathroom as an invitation for a visitor to arrive, the book lowers the stakes and reduces the power struggle between parent and child. It focuses on themes of patience, bravery, and the transition into big kid identity for children ages 2 to 4, providing a roadmap for emotional regulation on the loo.
