The Bookmarked Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Everyone knows the book "Everybody Poops," but did you know that Dinosaurs poop too? And sometimes they poop whole planets - which I supposed would make them gas giants. But this wild and crazy adventure teaches a valuable lesson: If you don't eat your meals when your mommy tells you too, you might get lost in space.

DISCLAIMER: This story uses the word "butt" one time in the book. So for our extra tiny Li'l Listeners - or for parents who just aren't a fan of that word - this word shows up at the 5 minute and 28 second mark. Feel free to skip a few seconds around there.

Grab your own copy of the book below to read along with us!
