Cute story - pop-ups don't work3
I saw this book in the bookstore, and was (almost) enraptured. It's a kinda disgusting, more than a little weird book about a mole who needs to know who pooed on his head, and so goes about asking other animals to poo for him so he can compare. Perfect for the potty-humor set.

Buuuut - the pop-ups were very difficult to manipulate, and some of them didn't work at all. This was in a brand-new, clearly never-been-touched book at the bookstore. Pop-ups are already a difficult sell for me, particularly the type that have tabs you pull and whatnot, they're just too easily broken. Pop-ups that are broken before you even buy them? I can't afford that.

I'm getting instead a non-pop-up ("poop-up", as the book calls it) version.

funny, just for fun, toilet humour kids love5
This book is great for kids who think toilet humour, poop and body functions are funny. Tabs can be a little stiff but worth it for effect.

There are better alternatives 2
My 4-year-old daughter absolutely loves this book, but I am struggling with whether to get it for her or not for Christmas. One the one hand, she loves it, but on the other, like another reviewer mentioned, I do not see the educational value of the book. The potty humor in the book is, to me, rather gratuitous -- it grosses the children out and gets cheap laughs, but what do you learn at the end? I guess you walk away knowing what various animal poop look like, but you'd find better and more factual illustrations in an animal encyclopedia. And if you just want to teach your children that pooping is a natural bodily function, nothing to be ashamed of, and at the same time, nothing to make gross jokes about, there are better alternatives out there as well. Our family's favorite is: Everyone Poops (My Body Science Series) (My Body Science Series) by Taro Gomi and The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts (My Body Science) (My Body Science) by Shinta Cho. Both books teach children not to be shameful about natural bodily functions in a dignified, thoughtful manner.
