Book Summary:
Rhyming couplets feature Professor Poopdeck and two young friends as he takes them on a type of poop safari. Words for poop (i.e. guano, number two, ca-ca), its forms and styles (cubes, tubular, wet and dry), and myriad of uses (i.e. souvenirs, a means of tracking and marking, housing insulation, food, fertilizer, fuel) are all conveyed with humor and a certain demand for respect. It's a book that says: Don't just flush this stuff away! While it may dismay and stink, there's more to this stuff than you might think!Last year I reviewed Artie's The Butt Book. Earlier this year he approached me to review his new book Poopendous. I admit the title had me rolling my eyes - Poopendous: The Inside Scoop on Every Type and Use of Poop - but I have a son who I thought would likely enjoy this book. After all it seems that burping, farting & pooping are subjects young boys find hilarious.
The rhyming text was easy to read and the pictures were cute. Obviously this book won't appeal to everyone but if you have a young reluctant reader this would a book you could try. It's one I didn't mind reading and my 3 youngest kids all enjoyed it. It's more "silly" than it is "gross". They rated it 3.5 to 4 stars.
Poop is yucky, poop is foul.
Step in poop and you will howl.
To read this book, you must be strong.
Just hold your nose and come along!
Rating: 4 Stars - Great book for the intended audience.
