My Son Likes It
It's a cute book about poo. My 2 year old enjoys it as he can pronounce the title. The illustrations are okay, not really my style. The story isn't as funny as a previous reviewer mentioned. I found the rhymes, or maybe the flow of the book to be a little weak.

Potty Training in Process
We got this for our 2 1/2 yr old daughter since we are in the process of potty training. She loves to look at the book while she is pottying and refers to the character as 'Cailou' off PBS kids. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because each time it refers to going #2, it says Doo-Doo (we substitute Poo Poo, although that may not be any better). Overall, it is a great book!

My Daughter Loves This Book!
This book is a definite hit with my 20-month-old daughter (and me too). She loves this book and asks me to read it to her all the time. It's too soon to tell whether it will help with potty training but I am glad that I purchased it. It's a great book and I laughed so hard the first time we read it together!

A Potty Book that's different from the rest!
"Zoo Poo" is a decent book for helping toddlers recognize the 'natural thing' of going number 2. I don't really think it has to be tagged as 'The First Toilet Training Book' as it states in the title. We had many other first books. This book came to us after a turbulent year and home life and many potty training attempts. If your son or daughter is having a hard time making a deposit in the toilet or potty chair (afraid, control freak, whatever), this book will help. It made it interesting for my 3rd-time-in-training, controlling daughter to see the animals 'going potty' in nature and then going about their business. At the end of the book, the moral of the story is that kids go potty on the toilet. We made it a fun to read book by laughing and saying together, "Ewww!" each time we turned a page. For those of you who might think they would find this a disgusting book, believe me, it's fine. My parents never let us say any of the words that started with the letter p. But we have to think like a toddler to help them and this books helps! I also recommend "It Hurts When I Poop". It explains what happens in your body and that poop is your body's trash and the toilet is the trash can. My little future doctor loved the simple drawings of inside the body. She's now trained and we're both happy!!! Good luck!

Humorous and catchy
My 22 month old son loves this book. He thinks it's hilarious. I think it's hilarious to see other people's reactions when we read it! If you feel as I do, that it's best to talk to your children about their bodies and bodily functions as well as those of other animals, this is the book for you. It is, however, not the wordiest of books, which is unfortunate. A good "THIS is the last book" (when you've already read 10) bedtime book.

My 3 year old daughter LOVED/S it!!!
We bought this book during potty training because my daughter had fear about "poo-ing" in the potty....this book I think helped lesson her anxiety and of course since it is silly she LOVED and still loves it!! It isn't too expensive and was a great asset for our potty training!!
