Product Description

With universal appeal (everyone poops, after all), this witty, illustrated description of over two dozen dookies (each with a medical explanation written by a doctor) details what one can learn about health and well-being by studying what's in the bowl. A floater? It's probably due to a buildup of gas. Now think back on last night's dinner, a burrito perhaps? . . .All the greatest hits are here: The Log Jam, The Glass Shard, The Deja Poo, The Hanging Chad . . . the list goes on. Sidebars, trivia, over 60 euphemisms for number 2, and unusual case histories all make this the ultimate bathroom reader. Who knew you could learn so much from your poo?

Poo book rocks!
This book is grrrrreat! My favorite book of all times and its not ridiculous or a joke. Written by doctors and all your questions about your poo are answered... very funny and great to keep right by the toilet for some poo reading!

Dropping Almonds by Bach Anon. The chapters are short and relevant, perfect for the morning poo.

You could read this in one good sitting
I purchased this book as a gag gift for my brother's 50th birthday (along with other senior citizen refuse items) and when I received it I couldn't believe how small it was. Normally I would never read a book before giving it to someone but this could be read in a matter of minutes. I found the book to be simple (which is good especially if you don't want big scientific words) and somewhat humorous. Not laugh-out-loud funny as some people think. The information was worth reading though. I don't recall my parents ever giving the "your different stools mean this..." speech. I learned a few things and now I'm aware of the health of my home through the inspection of the garbage.
