Quick Summary
Ever wonder why we have toilets? This rhyming, illustrated book takes kids on a quick tour of poop history from ancient Roman communal latrines to medieval castle garderobes and finally to the modern flush toilet. The humor is right up there with the best bathroom jokes, making it a hit for kids who love anything gross, while the short chapters and big pictures keep even reluctant readers turning pages. Parents will appreciate that it's packed with real historical facts without being scary just a lot of silly poop jokes. It's perfect for a read-aloud before a bathroom break or as a fun way to sneak in some science and history. If your kid enjoys this, they might also like the gross-out but educational vibe of "The Story of the Toilet" or other books in the same vein.
