As the book says, “all living things eat, so everyone poops.” There are one-hump camels pooping two-hump camels pooping gorillas, pigs, pelicans, and bugs pooping. To be fair, I think that’s part of the reason A likes it: there are lots of animals. It’s literally a book about pooping, complete with illustrations of turds hanging out of people’s butts.

My husband went to a library book sale (the kind when all of the old books are 25 cents), and came back with Taro Gomi’s Everyone Poops. Well, today, we’re talking about Storytime & Poop. I’ve done a mini-series on this blog called ‘Storytime & …”: Storytime & avoiding colorblindness, Storytime & decentralizing manhood, and Storytime & naming Whiteness.
