A sure-fire winner

(The Independent on Sunday )

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, fantastic, an all time favourite!, 22 Dec 2005
By Lesley Roberts (Oxford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vesuvius Poovius (Paperback)
This is a wonderful children's book and will appeal to all children - especially boys - aged 4 to 8. It's a story about 'poo' and what the Ancient Roman's did with it before the 'loo' was invented. Along comes Vesuvius Poovius who invents the 'loo', but how can he tell the Emperor about his great invention when it is forbidden to mention the word 'poo'? A hilarious book with fantastic illustrations, and some wonderful play on words. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's all about poo, 16 Jul 2009
By K. E. Taylor "Katherine" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this as a gift for a 5 year old boy but, for reasons nothing to do with the book itself, it wasn't given. The book with audio CD remains sealed ready to give to another boy when the next party invite comes. In the meantime I borrowed this book from the library to read with my daughter and see what it is like.
At first my daughter (age 5) wasn't interested but we ended up reading it three nights in a row at her request. She is a bright 5 year old and I thought she might find the language difficult but she got the hang of the humour. It was interesting enough for her to talk to her cousin about but I don't suppose he had a clue what she was talking about.
The subject may be a bit crude and a bit vulgar but if it gets children reading then who's to complain?
