Is That Your Poo, Kangaroo? This book can be ordered from Scholastic India via our kbc storefront as well. Scholastic India always has special offers on. In Girija’s words:
Poo is always a hit with toddlers and if you have a book in which you can actually touch the poo, it’s a hands-down winner! The crew of Emu, Cockatoo, Koala and Platypus are trying to find out who the mysterious poo belongs to; and the Kangaroo comes up with hilarious reasons to justify it’s not his. With a short attention span of young toddlers, this one is a perfect book with a small but extremely toddler-funny rhyming story.
Poo In The Zoo from the let’s read together series (3 – 6/7 years)
Girija: “This is one of the most hilarious books we have. This story about a zoo keeper and all kinds of poop he deals with, is a silly read that is bound to have your toddler in stitches. Icing on the cake (or the poo I must say) , is that it has a whole poo museum illustrated and the sheer volume of poo will get your kid giggling.”
Amardeep: “If your child likes potty humor, get this book. How much we have rolled in laughter over this book is unimaginable. The description it contains of each animals poop, and the climax of the accident of glowing poop, will leave you in splits.”

What do they do with all that poo, is a book that manages to be funny and informative at the same time. So, while Neil laughed his head off at the photo of a giraffe pooping small marble like poo.. the book also explains that giraffes have four stomachs, and can digest food better than other animals – leading to smaller poop size!
