From the Series Feel Better Books for Little Kids

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 1
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

In lively, soothing rhyming text, this book helps little ones who are first learning to use the bathroom to understand that pooping doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or scary.

Pooping can feel like a BIG deal to a LITTLE kid!

It’s very confusing
when your head says no
but your body is saying
I really need to go!

The gentle and calming narration gives readers concrete coping strategies and practical advice.

Authors Holly Brochmann and Leah Bowen offer an insightful Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information about helping little poopers to stay calm and have success!

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Help for kids whose No. 1 fear is going No. 2. . . . The text goes on to offer validation of children’s fears, tips for relaxing, and the reassurance that everyone poops (to borrow Taro Gomi’s title line from his popular 1977 picture book). . . . Sure to help kids with this bummer of a problem, and their caregivers, too.”—Kirkus Reviews
