Synopsis

Little Monkey’s Big Peeing Circus will make a big SPLASH!

An exceptionally talented pee-er, Little Monkey opens a peeing circus so he can show off his talents. Mimi wants to perform in it, too, but can Mimi pee without a pee pee?

This humorous story answers an age-old question and provides readers with a lesson in girl “parts” and boy “parts.” Children will delight in the glorification of an often taboo subject, while taking in the whimsical, circus-colored illustrations. \

From School Library Journal:

PreS–Little Monkey is so impressed with his peeing prowess that he opens a peeing circus. The bright cartoon pictures show him shooting a loooong yellow stream into a toilet mounted on wheels from a variety of angles, while an audience of appreciative animals cheers him on. Envious Mimi wants to join the circus, but when she pulls down her underpants, she seems to be missing the necessary equipment. Surprise! Mimi can shoot off a yellow stream as well as he can. ('Without a peepee!' cheered all the animals. 'That is very clever!') So they both perform together for their adoring fans. Presumably, this book is supposed to be a humorous take on I'll show you mine if you show me yours, but it misses its target badly. Toddlers who are obsessed with what lies inside their diapers may find it amusing, but it certainly will not teach them good toilet habits. Unless you really want to encourage boys (and girls) to jump around performing various urinating stunts, this title is an unnecessary purchase.–Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT
