Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Paddy Poopenhopper's Magic Turds
Heather Lonczak Β· 2021
A PhD in educational psychology writing a picture book about a magical rabbit whose generous gifts happen to be turds is the kind of premise that earns a second lookβand the book actually delivers on it, burying a genuine lesson about pure motives and giving inside a premise kids find instantly hilarious. Foreword Reviews noticed, parents who can get past the title will likely be pleasantly surprised, and the toilet-humor hook is mild enough to read aloud at school. A solid pick for families who want their kids laughing and thinking at the same time.
