The Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of Pooping! (But classy)

Ooo…Poo! by Elliot Kreloff

March 21, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Everyone poops! In the ocean, on land and even the sky (WATCH OUT!) and in this book, Ooo…Poo! You see written at an easy reading and understanding level, the different types and words, for it. It starts off with the end pages giving you a um…colorful…. bunch of words (feces) for the thing some call poo. Then we go farther along in the book by Elliot Kreloff (who looks like they enjoy the scoop on poop and really want to share with you) we see […]

I wanted maybe one of the animals to say, “Oh hey follow us and we will let you know.” Or maybe have them talking amongst themselves such as, “Hey Ralph, do […]

Do a little dance, while not weeing in your…

I Need to Wee! by Sue Hendra

July 25, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The whole “cute little dance” happened. Yes, I thought, we have our story. I thought “How […]
