[size=large] Everyone Poops (My Body Science) (Hardcover) by Taro Gomi 五味太郎 英文

"An elephant makes a big poop--a mouse makes a tiny poop." These straightforward observations mark the beginning of Taro Gomi's wonderful picture book "Everyone Poops." Not only is this beautifully illustrated book a great way to teach kids about a basic body function, it's also a wonderfully funny treat for adult readers.
I imagine that some prudish parents will be put off by Gomi's explicit (but charming) pictures of animals and humans taking "poops" of all shapes, sizes, and colors. But Gomi's basic message is sound: relieving one's bowels is a normal part of our everyday lives. In a world where too many people are too embarrassed to ask their doctor about colorectal cancer and other "poop"-related health problems, Taro Gomi's book is especially valuable. If the child (or parent) who enjoys this book feels less squeamish about discussing colorectal health concerns at a later time, than Gomi will have done more than just entertain; the author may have also helped save a life. So buy "Everyone Poops" and share it with the ones you love.
Comments: Very funny and humourous book. 適合唔介意同小朋友談 大便 的父母,向小孩講點解會有大便,又不同動物大便各異,大便的習慣也不同。This is indeed a healthy science book for young kids. 不是什麼禁忌呢!

Best picture book for introducing high-level pre-schoolers to homonymns 同字異義. Basically, the author has identified a number of animal names which can also be verbs by themselve. Very funny and illustrative pictures. I love it. I learnt 10 new verbs from this.
I can recite the whole book below for your reference:
See the Yak yak 看看長毛牛在滔滔不絕的說話
See the steer steer
See the seal seal
See the duck duck
See the fly fly
See the chicken chicken
See the bug bug
See the badger badger
See the hog hog
See the kid kid
See the ram ram
See the buck buck
See the slug slug
