I never thought I'd find myself writing a review on a kid's book about poop, but here I go anyway. :)
So, I got The Truth about Poop, as a gag gift for someone, and couldn't resist skimming it before sending it off in the mail. To my surprise, I found it not only funny, but rather informative. :) It's full of all kinds of factual tidbits you never thought you'd ever want to know, but that you find yourself reading and thinking "Huh. Interesting." Things like how different animals mark their terr...more

I use this book at the beginning of the year to get kids to start responding to literature. I give the kids sticky notes and tell them that ANYTHING that pops into their heads is okay to write down including; "gross," "that's sick," etc. If I can get their head around what they are thinking (metacognition) with something that easily evokes emotion, then the responses come more easily later on when the content gets more difficult.

The inside cover of this book was very interesting. I would have thought that they would have filled it with pictures of their various characters doing ridiculous activities, but instead they filled it top to bottom with random sentences and facts from the book. I am not quite sure if I like this better or not, but it is definitely different. I think I would have preferred the pictures, simply because of the nature of the book and its silly approach with the illustrations. The title page, on the...more
This book is about many different ways poop can be used, how much should be deposited every day and what is healthy and what is not.
This book has tons of great information to help children get more knowledge about what poop can be used for. It gives information on animals and how they use their poop and such. This is a great tool to use in the classroom for research ideas or other group activites. The pictures that go along with the words are great because they show what is going on in the words...more

I was surprised at the amount of information I learned from this book. Possibly the best 20 cents I've spent at a thrift store recently. The kids I nanny love it because they think it's going to be gross every time, but really they love to talk about that archaeologists have recently found fossilized T. Rex droppings. I would probably not use this for whole group instruction, but I don't see a reason to not have it in a classroom.
For anyone who is interested in finding out the "dirt" on poop, this is a excellent resource. With funny illustrations and a simple writing style, the reader will find out all the real information about why we poop, what we can do with poop, and even funny trivia about fun facts about poop. A great book for beginner readers.
Kagum, topik "poop" bisa ditulis dengan begitu informatif tapi juga enak banget dibaca dan kocak. Hilarious. Dari sejarah abad ke abad, kenapa kita harus poop, beda cara poop di antara berbagai bangsa, sampai cara poopnya hewan dan manfaat poop. Asli, asyik banget dibaca, dan pasti bagus banget dibacakan untuk anak-anak.
Informational and gross. Something students and educators can both agree on. This book was being read by a student and he gave it to me to read to him. It was hard to read this book without laughing. It talks about the history of toilets, how toilet paper is made, and anything humorously gross.
MUCH more exhaustive than the classic "Everybody Poops"- it discusses the uses and misuses of poop by people and animals, and historical overviews of poop-related hygiene practices and poop-removal technologies. Highly recommended.
A very good, interesting and fun book about you-know-what. This is the sort of book that reluctant readers love for the humor and chatty style and more advanced readers enjoy for the fascinating trivia.
Not by my own choice, this book came home with me. It was so much fun! Facts about poop abound from the history of the toilet to poop as food (?!?!). Illustrations express humor as well as text.
Surprisingly my husband found this book too gross to listen to. However, my 6-year-old son of course found it awesome! I just found some of it gross, but a lot of it fascinating.
Wow, you wouldn't believe how many facts there are about poop. If one became familiar with some of the trivia here, such discussion would entertain the 'open-minded.'
The best facts of poop you will ever find in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As immature as this book might seem, it holds many mind-blowing facts that you would have never guessed or known about... poop.
Extreme poop, useful poop, dangerous poop. Also, the acknowledgements page says "defecated to the ones I love." Snort.
After reading about this book in the text for class I couldn't resist checking it out. Would make a great book for late elementary students. All aspects of the book are true, the only concerning part of the book is when they describe the time when there was no toliet paper and people would use Sear & Roebuck catalogues but would remove the women's lingerie pages (could be interpreted for use for masturbation) or just because mothers didn't want to want their sons looking at these images.
Ha this book was extremely funny i read it on my free time at home because i was extremely bore :/
i found out that Thomas Crapper made the first flushing toilet
