Peekaboo Poo! Alfie has a present for you . . .

by Lisa Regan, Richard Watson (Illustrator)

'Alfie is a little scamp. He can walk and burp and laugh. He loves choo choo trains and pets and blowing bubbles in the bath. Alf still wears a nappy, because he's only two. He doesn't need to worry about where he does a poo!'

And so begins the hilarious, rhythmic tale about a little boy who is rebelling against being toilet trained by using every receptacle around the family home to dispose of his poo. With fun rhyming text perfectly paired with a unique illustration style, this title is sure to be a winner!

Chrissy present. Indy listened. Wasn’t fussed. Even with the toilet humour! I explained the GR rating system to him (he’s 5). He decided it’s ‘ok’. He was nonplussed. Didn’t even laugh. A $12 Christmas spend. Oh well! Maybe he got too much other cool stuff. He got bucket loads 😔

This book ended up being read many times on holidays. Indy’s 5 year old little girl friend kept choosing it for our very own story time sessions on our camping trip. Looks like toilet humour isn’t only for the rough nut little boys 😉💩

Loved it! (of course)

Clever rhyming and giggle inducing toilet humour, which children and adults can get a bit of a kick out of. Maybe I am rating it so highly as the character's have a lot of similarities of my family - so much so it was a bit shocking! My Alfie is nowhere near as naughty though lol! Even my husband shares the same name last name as the illustrator. My kids have made me read this book many times.

My kids loved this book! Very funny, albeit kinda gross. 🤣

Ummm, I think all I can say is that my twin nephews who are obsessed with 'toilet talk' are going to like their present 🤢

“Peekaboo poo” is a very funny and humorous children’s story book that I think everyone should read! The book is told by the narrator but it is all about Alfie and his poo.

My favourite part is when Alfie does his business all over the house in different places. Like his sisters shower cap.
I think his sister is a bit of a pretty princess because she screamed like crazy when she was about to have a shower and she found Alfie’s poo in her shower cap.
I think that Alfie is a bit of a cheeky baby. I can relate to that because I know people with cheeky kids and I definitely was a cheeky kid myself. I think that this book is suitable for 5 and 10 year old kids.

Not sure this wouldn't give a child in toilet training more ideas for mischief...
