A fun book to read while in the bathroom doing your business. Some interesting information. there are interesting section about when to see a doctor if something does not feel right. Not a must read but a fun read.½

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 kid would probably enjoy this book a lot.

I can't say that I've read this book cover-to-cover. But it's been sitting on my coffee table since I won it months ago and you would not believe how many people have picked it up and read bits and pieces, usually out loud. There's usually a laugh and then a "hmmm, I didn't know that." That's why I've left it out. When it stops teaching people things I'll relegate it to the shelves. All in all, the book seems to be a mix of actual facts and satirical humor, so I think people who are never going to read a non-fiction book about poop actually learn a thing or two about their bodies.

Not exactly what it says, because (a) it also covers pee and gas, (b) it’s just a few paragraphs at most at a time with some tidbits of biology and history, for bathroom reading, and (c) it’s not very complete or informative, mostly devoted to making poop jokes and giving names to types of outputs. However the best advice may well be simply stated: if your poop looks weird, especially if there’s blood in it, see a doctor!

This is an odd little book. If you pick it up expecting a serious medical book, you will be disappointed. There are some medical facts here and there, but they are not presented in any organized manner. It is primarily a book of bathroom humor, with a side of useful or interesting facts. I really don't know who I would recommend this book to.

A very funny book. And a quick, easy read. It has important facts and trivia too. It describes every poop, why it happens and how to avoid it.

Very humorous, enjoyable little book, definitely one for a coffee table or bathroom. And thank you to LibraryThing for the hardcover copy of this little gem for my enjoyment and review. It will certainly bring good conversation and laughter by those who look, either out of curiosity or just plain interest!! The author does a great job of discussing all about those things no one EVER talks about, but you will find right on the money as far as what your already know yourself about POOP!!
Thank you for a fun read!

Very informative , I especially like the "Doo you know?" info

I received this book through LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

It's a quick read, definitely made me laugh! I also learned things that I never knew before - for example, sloths only poo once a week or so! The authors walked a fine line between humor and "grossitude" without crossing over. The illustrations were also cute and clever. Would make a perfect bathroom book ;)½

Amusing and interesting. This book includes a variety of medical, cultural, and historical facts. The author provides this information in a humorous presentation. The book is a quick read with many illustrations. I strenuously recommend this book.

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 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!

Received this book through Early Reviewers. Excellent book! Loaded with many interesting facts concerning poo. Descriptions of how different types of poo appear and how they feel when they exit. Some history and some nomenclature, all with a good sense of humor. An enjoyable read concerning one of our necessary bodily functions. Also contains some practical advise on diet. Highly recommended for the uninhibited reader.

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 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.
