In this pithy board book series, an overenthusiastic, impulsive lion embraces his toddler life with gusto, testing everything to its limit. In Lionel Poops, Lionel cheerfully tries all sorts of places to poop before ending up proudly on the potty.

Lionel is bouncing on his trampoline when all of a sudden he needs to poop. Where will he do it? On some cows! No, Lionel, no! On some wildcats! No, Lionel! Lionel thinks of many inappropriate places but eventually poops on his potty. Well done, Lionel! But wait—that’s not all...

Cheeky toddler lion Lionel learns about looking after his own body. His mischievous grin puts the reader instantly on his side, and the tolerant voice of his adult helper provides an amused commentary—and incidentally, a model for how to parent.
