POO—
The page turn
The word gets cut in half by the page. Your kid will grab the corner before you do.
Pre-order · Hardcover · Ships December
A very polite book.
It's tidy. It's clean. There's a bunny, a duck, a cloud, and a tree. And there is absolutely nothing in here that is naughty. Trust us.
(It has the word poopy in it. And one other word that doesn't rhyme with anything.)

Why kids ask for it every night
The book that makes you say it.
A very proper narrator is trying to get through a very nice book. The naughty words keep sneaking in. And whoever is reading out loud has to say every single one.
DIARRHEA
The word that won't rhyme
Every other line rhymes. This one never does. The narrator tries. He fails. He loses his mind about it.
BOOGER.
The bunny did it
Somebody keeps sneaking rude words into the book. The text never says who. The pictures do.
Look inside
Four pages we probably shouldn't show you.
Pre-order
Pick your poison.
Pre-orders fund the first print run. You get it first, you get it cheapest, and you get it before anyone else's kid is saying it at daycare.

The promise
All pre-orders are final. Your book is in the mail by January 31.Pre-orders close October 31. Then the print run happens, then the boat, then your mailbox. Because pre-orders pay for the print run, we can't offer cancellations or refunds for change of mind. If we can't ship by January 31, you'll be offered a full refund.
Questions
Reasonable questions.
When does it actually ship?
Pre-orders close October 31. Books ship December and you'll get a tracking number the day yours goes out. If we can't ship by January 31, you'll be offered a full refund.
Is it actually appropriate for kids?
Yes. The naughtiest word in the book is "diarrhea." There's no name-calling, nothing mean, nobody gets hurt. It's a book about a fussy narrator losing a fight with a bunny.
Can I cancel?
No. All pre-orders are final. Your order is what pays the printer, so once it's in, it's in. The only exception is if we miss the ship-by date, in which case you'll be offered a full refund.
Why pre-order instead of just buying it?
Because it doesn't exist yet. Pre-orders pay for the first print run, which is how a small book gets made as a real hardcover instead of a flimsy one. You also get the launch price, which goes up after the run.
Do you ship outside the US?
US only for the first run. Leave your email below and we'll tell you when that changes.
Will there be more?
Yes. Scroll down.
