This book has turned my life completely around.
I used to have a very negative attitude towards those who told me that everyone poops. I was really quick to dismiss their claims that everyone poops as mystical hogwash, a sort of pseudo-scientific feel-good philosophy designed to scam the gullible out of their money. I mean, when we were kids, who didn't imagine themselves one day pooping? I know we all tried it, and imagined that we could poop, but eventually most of us grew out of this phase and ...more

I've got a 3 year old that won't poop on the potty. Nope. She just takes a dump in her underwear. Yum. So, as semi-gross as the illustrations in this book were, it's nothing compared to the mess I have to clean out of her pants every day.
Basically, this is an illustrated book for children about various animals and the way they poop. Then it throws in how kids (and adults) poop on the potty, and babies poop in their diapers. Again. This is illustrated, but it's cartoonish so it's not like you're ...more

The realization that everyone does indeed POOP, may not be so comforting after all . . .
Up and Out by Jeremy Kaye ...more

This Post-modern work tackles the taboo subjects of poop, and those who do the pooping. I won't spoil the ending for you but lets just say that there are enough plot twists to keep you guessing. Clearly inspired by contemporary feminist theory with a hint of neo-marxist thought
Amusing book. Part of being an animal is we all poop and this book has fun showing this part of life. My brother got this and had me read it before he had kids. That's his humor.
A thriller, non-stop action, definately one of Gomi's best pieces.
OK so... Everyone poops. Duh.
I'm not really so sure what the point of this book is.
If it's meant to be funny, it kinda failed, because I don't think that toddlers will appreciate "poop" as a funny word yet. You have to get to the age where poop can be embarrassing and therefore be subject to becoming a joke... Five maybe. Or ten. Or thirty-five.
If it's meant to be informative, it kinda failed there, too. It's not informative as a potty-training book because it has no information about potty-t ...more

I’m torn. Either this is the most brilliant potty training book ever published. Or else it’s friggin creepy as hell. Or maybe it’s both at the same time. Take your pick.
My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and I went day after Christmas shopping today in a very small tourist town in northern Wisconsin. The selection of shops in town is primarily of the tchotchke shop variety. They each found a heavily discounted Christmas tchotchke for future years and I bought yarn.

Just might be the most important book of our generation. I laughed, I cried it made me want to poo.
I did not realise this book has been around for so long. Indy asked me to get it for him, they must have been reading it at pre school. I also didn't realise it's a translation.
I love how these concepts are so fascinating to children. When yep, quite simply, everyone 'poops', as Indy says!

Finally, a book about poop thats not total shit.
My best friends daughter refused to go poop in the potty... she would cop-a-squat outside in the rocks..lol.. I'm not kidding...lol.. and I tried not to laugh but how can you not? I got her this book and sat her down and we read it. It showed her that all people and animals poop. She said, "But Aunt Lisa, the animals are pooping outside, why cant I?" So I told her that yes, animals poop outside, but animals also lick their butts clean instead of using toilet paper and they get worms in their bel

Very cute little book ... great to give to people who have an issue pooping in public bathrooms.

This book is responsible for asking the most haunting unanswered question I have ever confronted:
What does whale poop look like?
What does whale poop look like?
This book has fabulous illustrations and doesn't shy away from its subject. It asks the question, "What does whale poop look like?"
Oddly, when I searched for it by title, this is the other book that came up:
God Wants You to Be Rich: How and Why Everyone Can Enjoy Material and Spiritual Wealth in Our Abundant World, by Paul Pilzer.
Ponder the connections between these two volumes, dear reader.

This book taught me a LOT about life and helped me get through some difficult times.
My kids & I read this about ten years ago. We all thought it was great fun. Our favorite line:

The images aren't that great, but they get across the message without being too graphic. Here kids are introduced to some basic science ideas -- all animals need to eat, and there's a connection between eating and 'pooping.' Older kids (ages 5-8) can be encouraged to think a little beyond the obvious. E.g., What does whale poop look like? What happens to the food when it's in the body -- the waste that comes out sure doesn't look like what went in. ...

The quintessential poop book.
Never before has so much truth been contained in the two-word title of a book. While many consider the sacred texts of their religions the ultimate guide to life - they clearly haven't read Everyone Poops.
Gomi's brilliant pictographic style and simple prose educate readers young and old about the realities of pooping - especially the fact that everyone does it.

Some real life lessons.
This book offers truth and insight into the human condition not seen since Proust or Dostoyevsky. A real page turner and fixture on my bookshelf.
Logan got this book for Christmas from his Aunt Lacey. After reading this book, I'm pretty sure there are some people who are either in denial or they have been fibbing. Can't wait till they publish the book everyone toots.
A humorous and informative book for all ages! Makes a great, quick read while taking a poop, as well...
I found this extrememly compelling. This novel had me on the edge of my seat for months on end. The ending came out of nowhere. Was this written by Stephen King?
my favorite of all time book to read. it stays in my drawer next to the toilet. you never known when you'll get a brain "fart" and forget. and yes, this is the best review ever!

The first book my son read himself without having memorized it first. Yay, literacy!
I don't have much to say about it.
Interesting, but accurate, illustrations.
This book... is FULL OF SHIT
