Sublime in its simplicity ... potty training has never been so much fun.
Lionel Poops
In this pithy board book series, an overenthusiastic, impulsive lion tests his daily routines to their limit—in Lionel Poops, cheerfully trying all sorts of places to poop before ending up proudly on the potty.
Lionel is bouncing on his trampoline when all of a sudden he needs to poop. Where will he do it? On some cows! No, Lionel, no! On some wildcats! No, Lionel! Lionel thinks of many inappropriate places but eventually poops on his potty. Well done, Lionel! But wait—that’s not all…
Cheeky toddler lion Lionel learns about looking after his own body. His mischievous grin puts the reader instantly on his side, and the tolerant voice of his adult helper provides an amused commentary. Ideal to read to a child while they are on a potty.
Series includes Lionel Eats All By Himself.

Potty training is so easy with this book.
School Library Journal, Betsy Bird –
Ultimately he poops in the potty (and you don’t even see it, people). And just like in his other book out this year, the self-satisfaction just radiates off of him.
Paula Green, Poetry Box –
The poop is off stage so I got to adore the wit, the achingly real and the sublime humour. Another genius ending.

This humorous take on potty training should go a long way towards de-dramatizing a sometimes stressful phase for families. A primer in how to develop a love of humour and the absurd in young kids.

Lionel Poops teaches young ones about using the toilet properly in the best possible way, because it is so subtle they won’t realise they are being taught a lesson. A hilarious book absolutely perfect for any kid who needs to learn where to do their business!
