IN THE MEDIA

 

"Children’s books about poo? Been there, done that. Usually, it’s all about potty training or avoiding constipation. But this one is a breath of fresh air (...) In terms of presentation, the rounded illustrations in this large board book are playful without slipping into crudeness or toilet humour, striking a fine balance between information and entertainment. (Special mention to the three white poos that turned out to be cleverly disguised meringues - we were completely fooled.) Marvellous Poo restores the reputation of droppings by highlighting their role in ecosystems, offering an educational yet light-hearted approach. Don’t hesitate - dive in." - Liberation.fr
