An Illustrated Bathroom Companion for Grown-Ups (Dirty Everyday Slang)

GREAT VALUE ... funny, factual and just a good, quick read that makes you keep reading and not put it down. The illustrations and wording are well thought out, clever and attention grabbing. I learned so much about things I either took for granted or were wrongly informed. This book would be a great gift. Either as a gag or as a legitimate present for just about anyone. The world would be a better place if people read books of this style (not necessarily the subject matter) periodically. The book's pages should be numbered next time.

I purchased this for my husband when he was going in for surgery to have part of his colon removed. IT was the hit of the week in his hospital room, his nurses all had to sit down and read it, even his surgeon had to sit down and flip through it. He said he wants to order one for his office. It is full of just random "no one needs to know that" fun facts about all things poop related! It's got comical pictures to go along with the facts and information. Just an overall enjoyable book.

Purchased for my husband for Fathers' Day, after he told my 3 year old to stop laughing about poop as poop isn't funny. He is wrong.
I've only flicked through the book, before I gifted it. It looks to be very interesting. Facts told in a funny, easy to read way. Good gift.

Given that the character is "poop." I would call them "complex." This is now a staple bathroom item. I bought it for my husband for fun, and it turns out, we both learned quite a bit! It's fun, lighthearted, and full of useless information to keep you entertaining your closest friends at cocktail parties. We now keep it in the guest bathroom, to enlighten others when they visit. Enjoy!

The book was delivered in a box that was undamaged. It is almost definitely unused and new, but the front cover was bent nearly in half. I bought it for a gift/joke but it does not look very nice with a crease on the cover. Disappointed with appearance

It might be smelly, but poop is fascinating. Just ask any kid who has read or been read to EVERYONE POOPS by Taro Gomi. The discussion of such a topic can easily lead to toilet humor, but when you're talking about poop, that's to be expected. EVERYBODY POOPS 410 POUNDS A YEAR is kind of the adult version of EVERYONE POOPS. It's a tasteful, yet humorously illustrated book full of facts about poop. Through a series of illustrated diagrams, the book shows what happens to your poop after you flush it. It also tells you what different colors and shapes of poop mean, why you can see corn in your poop, the things people used to use before toilet paper, and whether or not you can use your poop for fuel. The two tidbits I found most fascinating were that:

1. When horses were still the major source of transportation, there were 100,000 horses in New York City that produced 2.5million pounds of manure a day. In the winter the city built up an interesting mixture of snow and manure that raised the street levels up to five feet. That's why the buildings in the historic district have lifted, second-story stoops.

2. The Chicago River used to flow into Lake Michigan. However, the Chicago River is also where the city used to dump all of its waste. This was a problem because Lake Michigan is where they got their water. So, instead of actually dealing with their sewage problem, the people reversed the course of the Chicago River so it no longer flowed into Lake Michigan, but eventually flowed into the Mississippi River instead. Talk about being caught up s*#t creek without a paddle.

I thoroughly enjoyed EVERYBODY POOPS 410 POUNDS A YEAR. I found it entertaining and educational. It's a great "adult kid's book" (as the blurb on the back says), but I just wish it were a little longer.

“Everybody Poops 410 Pounds a Year” is a humorous and informative book where readers can learn interesting trivia from the ins and outs of defecating in space to how the modern toilet was invented. I recommend “Everybody Poops 410 Pounds a Year” in the Learn More section of “Chapter 6: …and Trash the Rest: Detoxing for Longevity” in my new book, Your Aging Body Can Talk: Using Muscle -Testing to Learn What Your Body Knows and Needs After 50.

This book is full of fascinating facts to bring up at your next, er, non-dinner party. Five stars because the illustrations are downright hilarious. Definitely a book for the adults and the poop humor that survives way into adulthood. I keep mine in the bathroom. :-)

I got this book for my brother after ordering "Everyone Poops" for his 3 y/o son. I'm a huge sucker for these fact books. This one has fantastic illustrations that go with some really interesting, gross and funny facts about the bathroom you never thought to ask (or wanted to know :)). All around totally worth the $$. I just wish it had more facts!
