What a fun and interesting read! Seeing this one mentioned on Kim @kayckay_bookreviews ' page, I knew I needed to grab a copy, and luckily, it was a Read Now on Netgalley!

Perfect for pre-K to first graders (even my third-grader giggled, so it would probably work for second- and third-graders too!), Poop For Breakfast contains a great balance of science, fun and vivid illustrations, and humor. With a 9 yo and 6yo, I hear and get a lot of questions about butts, poop, and a number of other body parts and bodily functions, so it was really cool to be able to read and discuss why certain animals eat poop and how it helps their bodies. While the main text is short sentences, it also includes more detailed paragraphs, which appealed to my third-grader and his inquisitive mind!

My boys definitely got some good laughs in, but also retained a lot of information and had follow-up questions, too! Great job to author Sara Levine and illustrator Florence Weiser for creating not only an interesting, but also very informative and age-appropriate book about how bodies work, why and how poop is produced, and how to even identify animal poop in the wild! Thank you to @netgalley and @millbrookpress for my gifted galley!

This book hits shelves in April, so I'll definitely be grabbing a copy in the spring!

💩 Every single kid on the planet will love this book! From the fantastic and funny illustrations, to the interesting facts and information, and the high gross factor 🤮, this will appeal to kids big time!

💩 While this book is gross and funny, it’s also very informative. Kids will learn WHY some creatures eat their poop and the various reasons why it is important for them to eat it. They’ll also learn why humans don’t have to do it! Thank goodness!!

💩 You’ll even learn about one creature who is born in poop!

💩 Did I mention the illustrations are great!?! Lots and lots of poop in this book!

💩 Buy it. Your kids will laugh, be grossed out, and learn something! Win Win Win!!!

Thank you @Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group, Millbrook Press for an eARC of this book, which I have read and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Never realized reading about "poop" wold be so interesting. The author and illustrator do a great job in explaining the kinds of animals that eat it and why.

Very well done!

Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for the eARC! Elementary readers will love this book- Learning about how different animals eat / use poop. This could be a great book to get kiddos interesting in reading (especially those elementary school aged boys who hate reading). I appreciate the author including reasons why humans do not have an interest in poop like the animals. The poop detective at the end of the book could be entertaining for kids as well.

This book is so engaging, with fun illustrations and easy-to-understand text. THis book would be great to accompany a zoo visit or animal unit in school.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.

If you know anything about me, then you know that when I saw the title of this book, I got excited. I have a very strange obsession with the word "poop" so books that talk about it are pretty high on my want to read list, regardless of what age they are intended for.

This was a very informative children's book. I know I learned a thing or two about why some animals eat poop. And the information was presented in language that children should easily be able to understand. My one concern about this book is that there may be some children that in spite of the book making it very clear that humans should not eat poop because it can make us sick, will want to do it anyway because this book makes it seem appealing.

The illustrations were very bright and colorful, and really helped to show how some of the animals digestive systems actually work, as well as giving a good, but not super gross, image of what different animals' poops look like.

Because of the subject of this book, I would personally have no problem reading it multiple times to children, but I imagine most parents would be a little bit more hesitant. At the same time, it is very informative and teaches things in a fun way that could help with retention. Overall I give it 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Such a fun and silly book! Although it is very descriptive so young and old can enjoy and learn something from each page! I also love the colors and illustrations to this book!

As an adult reading this book actually gave me a lot of information. I was honestly not aware that many animals eat their own poop and poo of others. This is an extremely informative book for children. It will not only make them giggle but they will gain knowledge!

This is a perfect picture book for the PK - Grade 1 audience, starting with the "poop" in the title -- sure to catch their attention! The color palette is bold and vivid, while the text balances short sentences with longer descriptive paragraphs providing information. This allows the book to educate both younger audiences and slightly older ones. I know that I learned a ton through reading! Levine also cites their sources at the end of the text, providing an excellent model to the intended audience.

What an adorable and informative book for children (and adults). Lots of information given but in an easy and enjoyable way to digest. Great book for inquisitive little minds.

My children (ages 7 and 3) really loved this one. The title grossed me out a bit but it was definitely caught our attention.

Who wants Poop for Breakfast? A surprisingly large collection of animals, birds and insects. Luckily (or maybe hopefully), humans don’t eat poop. This picture book explains the reasons why some species do, and some don’t, enjoy the culinary delights of poo.

While marketed for children, I found some fascinating tidbits here too. For example, the white part of the bird poop is actually urine. Just the black part is poo. Also, birds have just one exit hole where urine, poo, and eggs(soon to be babies) come out. As a former rabbit owner, it surprised me to discover what rabbits eat for a midnight snack and why. The illustrations are pretty, colorful and help to explain the digestive tracts of different species.

Poop for Breakfast is the perfect gift for a curious elementary school age child. However, the giver might want to sneak a peek too. The natural world is such an interesting place. 4 stars!

Thanks to Millbrook Press and NetGalley for a digital review copy of the book.

A truly interesting and delightful book finally answering the question: Why do some animals eat poop? And how many animals eat poop that I didn't know about? And did you know birds pee and poop in the same dropping? And, why do scientists not yet know why dogs eat poop? And, why do some animals need to eat their food twice, once the normal way, and the second time by redigesting their poop? It is really a fascinating book with wonderful illustrations and amazing facts. Just the book for a young male or an old male, 70, like me. Full of fun facts and information on everyone's favorite topic: poop. Our 5 year old granddaughter was visiting for Thanksgiving and she was practicing writing words and one of the words she wrote (unprompted) was: poop. So, there you go!

Several of my son’s favorite books involve poop, so for that reason I had to read this book. My son thought it was funny, he’s three. I found it really education. I learned a few things I wasn’t aware of about animals and their poop. The end is a bit disgusting with the mention of humans eating poop. I didn’t read that out loud as I never know what ideas my son might pick up from a book.

Overall, a fun and informative book that I think kids and adults will both enjoy.
