Sample Page from The Tale of the Toilet
It’s a big job, it’s number one priority and number two is pretty
important too, because you can never ignore nature’s call. So when you gotta go, you gotta go!
Some people can do this business inside their houses, some have to go outside. Some pour water after it’s done, others need not.
It’s different in different parts of the world, just as it was different at different times in history.

Omg! Very informational but, a little wordy for my 1st graders! They thought it was funny!
Hi Amanda, I think the reading level is more like third grade, but for reading to, I bet the first graders would enjoy the topics, thanks for your comment!
it was interesting because itś nice to know that your ancestors pee and poop used to go and makes you glad you didnt live back then and get a chamber pot dumped over your head.
lol
Lol
lloooool
The book was very informative for me.
The book was awesome. I some times wonder where poop and pee go when they’re flushed.
depends on where you live, if you live in a trailer then it goes into a septic tank but if your in the city it goes of course into the sewer
a very interesting story. I like the way what you wrote.
