The dinosaur who poo'd

[inmyslippers]

I loved mog books as a child. Whereas my child likes to hear the same story of a dinosaur who poo's. We have the pirate one and a Christmas one. Each involve copious amounts of defecation and gas. He finds it hilarious. If there's no poo involved he doesn't want to know

They are dreadful but appeal to my small boy.

Someone gave us one of these and I hid it. I'm sure DS will go through a stage of thinking poo is the funniest thing ever, but I have no desire to hasten its arrival!

My DD hated these books, she cried at the Christmas one!

It's honestly one of the most revolting books I've ever read.
Unfortunately the pre schoolers where I work love it!

They really are revolting but I imagine that's the appeal

I've seen these in the library but managed to avoid them. I think I would probably find the content a bit silly but bearable, I can't get on board with pooped though. If it actually was pooed and not pooped I might give them a try!

Every child in the world loves “Pants”

DS never liked the moomins or the muppets. Odd child...

My sister brought one of my sons these when he was little. Horrible disgusting books. He loved them 🤦‍♀️

My son absolutely loves these books.

Yep we have those. Shit galore. Also have one about a teddy bursting for a wee who tried to piss on/in everything until he finally wins a big cup and pisses in it. Kids go wild for it.

Not to mention the rhyme about mouldy veg and stinky socks in Shake, Rattle and Roar

Mike's 6 and he loves them. It's a bit awkward writing them in his reading log for school, but at least we're reading 🤷🙈😂.

My oldest two adore these. I have a grudging respect for the authors after one of them dedicated one of the books to a rhyming website Quite a refreshing honesty there!

Thankfully DS wasn’t keen. There again we have had to do every David Walliams book at least once but anything that encourages reading/enjoyment of books is good!

It would be criminal not to mention the I Need A New Bum series on this thread

They are revolting and the writing is really poor. Some of the rhymes really don't work. I hate them my ds loves them 😭

My kids school do a reading session when a parent comes in to read (or did pre covid) I took the princess one and the children loved it. They love it!

Aww, Allan! We love that book.

OP, your dc would probably love a book called Poo In The Zoo.
It’s in rhyme (that actually scans!) and is funny - my little Gdcs love it.

Janet and John didn't do anything like this in my day...

My dad cried with laughter when he read these books to my son. It was written by the bloke from McFly I think.

Now Dr Dog, that was disgusting.

Are these the ones written by two of McFly? We’ve managed to avoid them so far but given the popularity of Poo in the Zoo in this house it’s probably only a matter of time.

Try 'The Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business'
There's even a pop up version!

Dr Dog, is that by Babette Cole, @ElfAndSafetyBored? Her books are dreadfully inappropriate.

I also despise the dinosaur who pooped books. They're not even good stories. They are literally shit stories. Just rely on the kids loving them because they are full of shit. Dreadful. At least they gets kids into books though, as PPs have mentioned.
