I've read this to classes, ages 5-7. If you want a riotous storytelling session, this is the book to read. The kids were laughing their heads off. Poop is universal and natural and an extension of all the fart jokes kids like to tell (and this book is written very well; no pop/slang jingoism). I don't believe the kids felt compelled to take a dump on each other afterwards.
Congratulations !!! I watched the spanish version with my pupils and they laughed a lot, it's one of their favourite tales. Reading some comments here I think people should laugh a little more and carry the day by day things no so seriously. This little detective mole has a lot of vision,
Heh, I don't know if I'd ever read this story to a kid who's in my life, but I like the way you read it with the different voices etc. Thanks for sharing!
@johnsmithbsc it was on one of the newest episodes, when they go and see geraldine's now husband for the first time, and he asks alice what her favourite books are, and she tells him this is her favourite book.
This is sick... I have never ever seen such a ridiculously idiotic idea for a book for little kids. Why on earth would you want to teach kids about animals shitting on each other's heads... my wife and I couldn't believe it when someone gave it to us. How can this book have a moral of it is breaking one?

Moral of the story is, if someone shits on your head, shit back on his/her head.
LOL i went to see the play of this and it was hilarious! They sang little songs and all about each animals poo!

My class loved this story :-)
I use to love this book as a child!
I'm pretty sure no poop has ever looked as pretty as those.
saw this in a charity shop, trippiest thing
I remember reading this in primary school, I was like :D w00t he found the poop criminal

That's disturbing... in so many ways
@JayTee461 Really, when was it in Vicar of Dibley? I don't remember that.
1:38 now we know where Nesquik balls came from ;)
The moral is, watch where you poop, or you will get pooped on in turn
French flies?
Who pooped on mah head?
meh
So it teaches children that if you shit on me I can shit on you.

A wise rule of life.

and yet... it's hugely popular. Maybe kids don't always want to be educated. Maybe they just think it's funny?
WTF?!?!?!?
