REVIEW
The Boy Who Cried Poop! is hilarious and relatable — a staple for every family!
Alessandra Requena took a topic that all parents/guardians can relate to and weaved this fun and fantastic story about a little boy who cried “wolf” (or in this case “poop”) one too many times with his exhausted parent.
The writing is laugh-out-loud funny, and the illustrations are lively and cute. This is a story that my entire family enjoyed! Seriously, we read the review copy at least 5 times in one sitting. What little kid doesn’t get hysterical over potty humor?! What parent/guardian can’t relate to a kid that needs to go to the bathroom at the most inconvenient time (and always right after they claimed they “didn’t have to go”)?!
Overall, I highly recommend The Boy Who Cried Poop! This is a spectacular book to add to your potty learning arsenal or just great, in general, if you’re looking for a book full of wit and charm that the whole family can enjoy!
*Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book. This did not affect my opinion or the content of my review.
