Everyone Poops
Everyone Poops
This book is a bunch of crap!
I do not think any child is unable to grasp the concept of poop, to the point of requiring a book specifically devoted to it. What will they learn from Uncle Bob and public school if they already know all there is to know about poop? Sure read it once, have a good laugh. But you don't really want this book on the shelf to be brought out to you every bedtime. Do you?

Nos Enfants - a Book by Anatole France
Vintage French Storybook for Children
Tucked away on my bookshelf, Nos Enfants Par Anatole France languished for many years. The fraying around the edges and some scuff marks showed that young readers had loved this book.

The animal residents of Busytown learn useful lessons about manners, thoughtfulness, and caring in this perky, funny paperback. This is one of the books I loved most as a young child and I want to help get the word out to parents who may want to share this book with their children. This wonderful book teaches children all about manners in such a fun way that your children will want to read it over and over. It also includes amazing illustrations on every page in classic Richard Scarry style.
