Josh Richman

I snickered when What's Your Poo Telling You appeared in my husband's Christmas stocking several years ago but when I picked it up and read it, I found it funny and informative and perfect for bathroom reading. When I saw that Richman and Sheth had a second book in the series, I knew the bathroom bookshelf had found another perfect inhabitant. The format of book number two, named for number one, is similar to the first book in that it is made up of short bits, small tidbits, and interesting show more side notes. There's not nearly as much on pee as there was on poo so instead of being focused entirely on pee, there are sections on poo (new info) and farts as well. I may be too much of a twelve year old boy but I don't typically find pee as funny as poo (a phenomenon the authors acknowledge) and I truly laughed fewer times than during the first book. In fact, I don't think I laughed until I hit the fart section, which says a lot more about my maturity level than anything else, I suspect. Although if pressed I'd choose the first book over this one, What's My Pee Telling Me? still had some interesting facts (do you know the two smells that urine can have and why or why men have such poor aim in the bathroom?) and makes for informative reading when you are perched on the throne. show less

Usually when people ask "What's Your Poo Telling You?', it's a sign that someone needs Prozac.

This book is great. I never paid as much attention to my turds as after I finished this. Informative, (tasteful) illustrations, and quick too get through. I really liked this and will read again. In private.

You know what you're getting, and you do. Worth it!

A humorous but medically sound book that goes through poops various forms and what they mean. If you've ever looked in a toilet bowl and wondered if what your were seeing was normal, this book will answer that question. It also talks about shades of pee as well as the basic functioning of the digestive tract. The book is also littered with silly historical poop facts and oddities of culture surrounding excreta. A useful little book with many silly pictures and funny words for poop. I think a show more kid would probably enjoy this book a lot. show less

This book is fantastic! That is if you are into this sort of thing. If the title appeals to you at all, then I am pretty sure you will enjoy this book.

This poo book is a light read, and it covers way more than just poo. It covers #1, #2, #3 (Who knew there was such a thing as #3???). It covers farts, toilets, wiping, and much more. It's written in short little sections; on average about half-page readings. The sections are well labeled. There are cute pencil drawings that are as tasteful as show more can be considering the subject matter. There is really nothing that I would not want my kids to see. Perhaps half of the info in this book is of a medical nature. The rest is historical, funny, and random.

To me the funniest thing I read in this book was the study that concluded that "Hemorroids became smaller after patients stopped reading on the toilet". This struck me as funny because this book is a bathroom reader if ever there was one. Oh, the irony. I did read my copy of the book while lounging on the couch, not while sitting on the John - in case anyone was wondering.

Happy Reading and Pooing Everyone! show less
