What's Your Poo Telling You? -- 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?

As I expected, I really enjoyed this little book. I have always known my poo was telling me something, and now I know what! Great as a bathroom reader. I hope my guests enjoy it as much as I have.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Stool

OK, I know this book is "hilarious" and all, but did I really need to have my husband coming out of the bathroom every morning sharing the detailed medical analysis of his daily "poo-phoria"??? No, I most certainly did not. 2 stars for #2 (though if you asked the man of the house, it would be 5+). Unfortunately, he's "dropping the kids off at the pool" right now, and undoubtedly getting his talking points ready, so I'm afraid he doesn't get to vote on this one.
