What's Your Poo Telling You? [Hardcover]

Anish Sheth (Author), Josh Richman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 3, 2007

With universal appeal (everyone poops, after all), this witty, illustrated description of over two dozen dookies (each with a medical explanation written by a doctor) details what one can learn about health and well-being by studying what's in the bowl. A floater? It's probably due to a buildup of gas. Now think back on last night's dinner, a burrito perhaps? . . .All the greatest hits are here: The Log Jam, The Glass Shard, The Deja Poo, The Hanging Chad . . . the list goes on. Sidebars, trivia, over 60 euphemisms for number 2, and unusual case histories all make this the ultimate bathroom reader. Who knew you could learn so much from your poo?

This book is hysterical, yet educational too! I got it for my 10 year old son for his birthday. Bathroom humor is always a hit with boys. He read the book aloud during a road trip and we were all in stitches, laughing. It's sooo funny and you do learn a thing or two about #2!

5.0 out of 5 stars It is Poo-Licious!!, May 7, 2007

This review is from: What's Your Poo Telling You? (Hardcover)

I just finished reading this book cover to cover. The only time I set it down was to wipe away the tears from side-splitting laughter. The chapter on "sneak attack" poos and the "hanging chad" poos made me burst into laughter so hard that several of my work colleagues came by to see what was going on. The book combines great advice, accurate descriptions and solid medical medical reasoning for each type of poo. No longer will I wonder why my poo is the way it is. Great, fun book and perfect for a quick bathroom read.

This review is from: What's Your Poo Telling You? (Hardcover)

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who thinks poo is funny. But this book is SO HILARIOUS that everyone who sees it can't stop talking about poo. It's fantastic! I also learned a lot about poo because of the excellent commentary by the M.D. I bet that the author Josh Richman was in some kind of weird fraternity hazing ritual to think this much about poo--even though I'm no frat boy I think everyone will love this book!!!
