Maybe I need to have a shelf just for poop books!

I stumbled across this one while opening the mail at work. It's about a boy who doesn't like to poop because sometimes it hurts. Yikes!

The analogy story the doctor tells little Ryan doesn't make much sense, but it's a cute book all the same with a nice list in the back of foods that make poop softer and foods that make poop harder. We read it to baby Tess, but of course it's geared for an older kid who is having troubles.

This is nicely serviceable book to give to the parents of children who don't like to poop or are afraid to poop. While the conversations are not exactly perfectly realistic, the sentiment is loud and clear and the child is very well cared for by both his family and his physician.

I would feel a little weird giving 5 stars to a book with the word "poop" in the title even if I really liked it. My pediatrician recommended this for constipated kids. We'll see if it helps. :)

The story is a very detailed, so it was too much for my 3 year old nephew. It is probably better for the school age group.
