This one was an incredibly short and fast read. That said, however, the format didn't work great on my kindle.
Of course, as the title of the book suggests, the book can be cheeky, disarming and at times, crude, but given the nature of problem it is dealing with, I think it is safe to say it fits well with the overall theme. I do like the inventiveness and the creativity that such projects take.
I'd like to thank NetGalley and Animal Media Group for the ARC.
Loved the artwork! Book of poetry that suggests what Donald Trump could grab, versus...uhh ya know.
4/5 entertaining read!
Cute, fun, easy read. Relevant topic/title for this day and age. I recommend it for all liberal minded readers who need a laugh.
It is sad that this book had to be written in the first place, but thank goodness it was!
A very funny, somewhat crude and not for the easily offended collection of verse and comic oil paintings. As the cover depicts this is a shout in the face to Mr President.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
A big thank-you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for giving me a copy of this book for an unbiased review.
3.5, rounded up to 4 - Enjoyable, good for a laugh.
It may not be Shakespeare, but it definitely made me giggle. The creativity in finding different words for p*ssy was quite impressive, and the illustrations were good. Definitely something I would get for a friend as a gag gift.
This is a short and funny book. I found some poems to be much funnier than others and I smiled at them. However, others seemed to have very bizarre euphemisms for female genitalia that I had never heard before! It wasn't a laugh out loud kind of book for me. A good coffee table book to stimulate discussion perhaps...
The accompanying illustrations are excellent and very amusing. The illustrations are what kept this in 3 stars and no lower.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced review copy.
Funny and the illustrations were hilarious. Loved the poems and read a few of them out loud because they were that funny.
I wanted to like this book but it was just bland and not at all what I was expecting. This book added nothing to my life and honestly, I'm not too sure what the point of it is?
The book features a series of poems accompanied by oil paintings. Each poem gets a painting. The poems are all four lines long, and they usually feature an ABCB rhyme scheme (i.e. the second and fourth lines usually rhyme) with the fourth line containing a variant/synonym/euphemism/alternative name for pussy. The amusing part of the book is seeing how many different terms for pussy the author can present.
(I will post full review on my blog. See the link. It goes live on 8/7/19).
This is a humorous poem with four line bits that each have an accompanying illustration. It really is an exercise in synonyms for vagina and making them rhyme. Seems like a great little book to throw in a gift basket of someone who has had a particularly bad day facing the world our president has created. Just lets people know you aren’t alone with quipped little jokes.
Be warned, if you find bragging about sexual assault to be “admirable” or “presidential” you will be offended.
Thanks to netgalley and th publisher for the digital arc to review.

I have to be honest - this book was awful. I am in no way a Trump supporter. In fact, I love a good roast of the man that has so tortured our nation, however, I felt that this adult picture book was simply trying to hard. It was more sad than anything. It was supposed to be shocking and cute, but just looked forced. I'll give the author props for coming up with so many different terms that refer to a vagina, but the rhyming was crude and the not even very funny.
Funny with great illustrations, this book uses a wide vocabulary to get one point across - hands off!
I like and really enjoyed this book. Read it in one sitting, and I liked the humour it expressed, especially with a collection of corresponding illustrations. Since Trump's "pussy grabbing", there are quite some books dealing with "Pu$$y" and "Trump", which slightly will affect the quality of reading somehow. But I did enjoy the brilliance of author's humour in dealing with "pu$$y", and those words that "replaced" it, such as "yogurt factory".
A good reading experience!
I've ready some funny stuff about Trump, this wasn't one of them. A great idea, but doesn't seem as well thought out as the original brainstorm.
This book would have been great as a tweet-storm, a series on Instagram, but not as a book. Just not enough. A cute idea, but I read the entire book in about ten minutes.
I would have loved these poems if they accompanied an actual story of the rise of Trump to the presidency, for example. But as a stand-alone book, it didn't work for me.

Please Don't Grab My P#$$y is a short book with a 4 line verse couple with a picture/painting every 2 pages. The format was fun and the message is important, especially since we're talking about what amounted to an admission of sexual assault in the tape the comment is taken from. That said, some of the verses were clunky and the substitute words for "p#$$y" seemed a bit strained.
I went one star higher because the images were good and the concept worked, just not quite as well as I would have liked. The book is extremely short, which is probably a good thing since too much of this kind of stuff would become redundant. Probably more of a stocking-stuffer type gift. I'm hesitant to say gag gift because other than the toad who made the initial "p#$$y" comment causing ethical people to gag, there isn't anything about the larger issue that lends itself to being a gag.

Honestly this was just kind of stupid and overly crude. I know what they were getting at but like there is so many times that you can say don't grab my pussy different ways until it gets annoying. The rhymes weren't even good.
A book that is a series of poems about things Trump can grab besides girls parts. To me it was a little more serious than humorous. The book isn't wasn't very good honestly. The artwork is the only good part.

The good = the illustrations were good. The artist is very talented and was able to accurately depict scenes from the story in a fun way.
The bad = it felt like it was written by a 6th grader. It had immature and unforgivable writing. The context of some of the stanzas did not have rhythm and were shamefully bad.
The ugly = cooter, muff, hamster, dildo holder... The words used to describe the female genitalia were atrocious and while the author attempted to be imaginative; it was cringe worthy and not funny.
I wanted to enjoy this as a novelty story to share with fellow trump-haters, but I wouldn't share it with anyone and I am sad I wasted my time on it.
A hysterical and satirical book about grabbing a certain body part that the man in the white house bragged about. It's a quick read, and funny but some may take offense so just be careful.
I am at a loss for words in the best way possible. All the power to the writer for their strong capability of keeping this short and sweet. As well as immensely appreciate the many phrases that are in reference to women's holy grail. And who doesn't love pictures?
