Children love joking about poop. A lot of adults like joking about poop. That's why this book about sharing should be such a hit with kids and parents alike.
I'm not sure if the moral of the story will penetrate with little ones -- don't hog it all, when there's plenty to go around, or everyone might end up missing out -- but This Poop Is Mine! makes a good effort. The fact that this book uses poop as its foundation at least means you've got their attention, which is always half the battle!

Dos moscas se pelean por quién se queda con un montón de caca de perro. Tienen una gran batalla, peleando y arrojándose caca el uno al otro, hasta que un jardinero accidentalmente pisa la caca y las dos moscas terminan en el hospital donde aprenden a ser amigos.
No me gustó la historia. El tema era desagradable y me dio un poco de náuseas. Pero me gustó que las moscas se hicieran amigas al final.
Las ilustraciones no son tan buenas y no me gustaron los ojos saltones de las moscas. A los niños o personas a quienes no les importan las cosas asquerosas probablemente les gustará este libro. Tal vez mi sensibilidad esté demasiado susceptible para disfrutar de algo como esto.

Two flies fight over who gets to keep a pile of dog poop. They have a huge battle, fighting and throwing poop at each other, until a gardener accidently steps in the poop and the two flies end up in the hospital where they learn to be friends.
I did not like the story. The subject was just nasty and made me a little nauseated. But I did like that the flies became friends at the end.
The illustrations are not that great, and I didn't like the buggy eyes of the flies. Boys or people who don't mind gross things would probably like this book just fine. Maybe my sensibilities are too keen to enjoy something like this.

Kids will love this book. They adore anything to do with body functions and will giggle and laugh their way through each page. This story is about two flies that are warring over a fresh pile of doggie doo doo. Lola spots it first and claims victory that it is all hers and plants a flag of ownership. Along comes another fly, Fiona , who challenges her and declares that she is winner of the stinky pile.
They battle and fling poop all day long each trying to declare victory over the other. Finally when night in settling in they both are pooped out. They paint a line down the middle and call a truce until morning when war will once again resume.
The next morning along comes a Gardner, with big feet, and stomps right in the middle of the pile and obliterates the smelly mess. Oh my! The exhausted warriors decide enough is enough and the possessive nouns are changed from mine to ours. Ahhhhh sharing, friendship and conceding are highlighted and the delightful illustrations are kid-friendly and filled with humour. The book was originally written in Spanish and translated into English for kids of all ages. I recommend this fun read.

Dog poop might seem an unlikely subject for a picture book, but there's a strong and important message about cooperating and learning to share embedded in its humor. As is often the case for flies, a freshly produced mound of poop attracts first Lola and then Fiona, both of whom stake their claim on the fecal matter. They begin an all-out war, complete with flinging of poop and various outrageous acts, stopping only to rest at night after drawing a line that separated the stinky stuff into two equal parts. They make it through the night, but the morning brings a visit from the gardener who steps right in the poop. Young readers will enjoy guessing what happens next and wondering if the two flies have learned their lesson since neither one of them had a chance to enjoy the original poop since they were so busy fighting with each other over their territorial claims. The illustrations are filled with color and emotion, and both Lola and Fiona have personalities that shine through the book's pages.

The ever popular subject of poop is given comic treatment with a story about two flies arguing over a mountain of dog poop. Lola, the flittiest, sees it first, and plants her flag. Lola, the laziest and most loudmouthed, challenges Lola to a war to determine who gets to call the poop MINE. They battle with all of their cunning skill, but end up admitting that there’s plenty of room for both of them, and decide to call the poop THEIRS! Large, close up views of steaming brown poop and angry, manic flies will delight young poop enthusiasts. The flies seem to be adults out of control, which will double the funniness for kids, I think. Although the story doesn’t cover new ground, it does offer a humorous look at the possibilities of collaboration even over unpleasantness. With its close up views of the pooper (a dog), the flies and the poop, the (watercolor and pen?) art is fun and unfussy, suiting the subject.

My 4yo picked this out at the library, and it is about as disgusting as you would imagine from the cover only if you anticipate a full-on poop fight. Imagine a snowball fight but with poop. Yeah.
I have had to read this book for several bedtime storytimes in a row now and, let me tell you, it does not lose its gross-out factor. The illustrations, while well paired with the book's theme, are not particularly great. The only redeeming quality of this book is that its protagonist and antagonist (both female flies, so a win for gender representation) is its theme of learning to share. And it sure got a lot of laughs out of the little one.

Two flies lay claim to a fresh pile of dog poop. A grossness factor that will appeal to some young readers.

Hilarious book! I loved it. I prefer the Spanish version.

Hilariously gross! I adore the language used in this book and if you like a good poop (or battle) story, this is a must read.
