Where's the Poop? by Julie Markes, Susan Kathleen Hartung (Illustrator)

From Barnes & Noble

A group of youngsters is making poop in this helpful lift-the-flap book for young toilet trainers! From an African baby elephant to a panda bear in the jungle to a boy at home, kids of seven different species are assuring their parents that they've taken care of business, no problem. Each colorful spread includes three flaps that readers can lift to find the poop, providing a fun guessing game that keeps the book lighthearted until the final spread (a girl sitting on the toilet asks, "'Excuse me. I'm making a poop. Please shut the door!'"). Filled with can-do attitude -- and featuring Hartung's welcoming, friendly illustrations of animals in their natural habitats -- this simply sweet book will teach your child to follow the good examples within, making for a smoother diaper-to-toilet transition and putting your mind more at ease.

Eleanor Heldrich - Children's Literature

The subject of this unpleasant and tasteless little book will not come as a surprise. The title tells it all. Opening with the information that each little animal in the book has made a poop, it suggests that by lifting flaps on the following pages you will help the animal mommies and daddies find the poops—as if animal mommies and daddies spend much time doing that. Each double page spread shows an animal parent asking its baby if it has had or made a poop today, and each page has three flaps to lift to find the poop, and there always is a poop to find. On the last page, in a modern bathroom there is the opportunity to lift the seat of a toilet and find a poop in there, too. Is this really, as the book claims, "reinforcing the concept of toilet training and giving children the confidence they need"? 2004, HarperFestival, Ages 1 to 3.
