★ "In a field filled with gendered books about toilet training,
this refreshing title stands out by encouraging all children to see
pooping, and by extension the use of the potty, as a universal,
cross-gender, interspecies need. . . . An excellent first
purchase for anyone looking to expand their potty learning
collection”—School Library Journal, Starred Review
"Addressing audiences still in or recently out of diapers, Meisel
emits an elemental info dump based on the notion that every
creature poops somewhere. . . . Following views of discreetly posed
children sitting on toilets that are billed as, parenthetically,
the place to pee, too, he closes with a deposit of facts about what
poop is, how much of it elephants can produce (300 pounds a day!),
and other nuggets of natural history."—Booklist
"A parade of animals pooping in their natural habitats leads to
human toddlers proudly sitting on the potty. . . . In all, eighteen
smiling creatures from a variety of habitats poop on uncluttered
pages. A simple line of text accompanies each cheery illustration.
. . . Everyone Poops will always be number one, but You Poop Here
is a solid number two."—The Horn Book
"While potty books abound, Meisel’s stands out in its unvarnished
directness and respect, simple words and pictures speaking directly
at the level of young children. . . . A godsend for caregivers on
the prowl for potty-training"—Kirkus Reviews
