For you my dear reader The White Male Oppressor is starting a reading list page of recommended books. I will be posting reviews of each book. I am doing this so no one will miss one of the gripping stories that I will be reviewing.
For the first in what will be The Oppressor Reading List comes a gripping story for the young and old alike, a book by Taro Gomi titled “Everyone Poops.” This heart warming story about animals and humans alike explains in terms that anybody can understand that it is perfectly natural and normal to poop because it is something that everybody does. This fabulous book uses a well used mixture of pictures, humor and fecal matter to allay any fears that those who are potty training may be experiencing about their bodily functions.
One such humorous and well stated point jovially states on pages three and four where there is a picture of a one hump and a two hump camel, “A one hump camel makes a one hump poop and a two hump camel makes a two hump poop.” After which it says “Just kidding.” This was a great use of misdirection and humor on the part of the author. She started with the obvious of a single poop and then used some good humor for the two hump poop and just when you started to believe it the just kidding curve ball was thrown.
The book goes on to explain the different ways in which different creatures poop. How some just poop anywhere without a care and others clean up or bury their poop. It further explains for the benefit of all that adults poop and children poop and points out that some people poop in a potty and others poop in a diaper.
Overall it was a gripping read with interesting plot twists and a wonderful use of humor. I would recommend Taro Gomi’s Everyone Poops whether for a child or just a relaxed afternoon read.
