    The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet

    The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet

    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!

Kids Love It!

My kids are obsessed with these stories. We started listening during the pandemic when my oldest was 2, and he still enjoys them at 6, as do his two younger siblings. We have listened to all the stories multiple times. The excitement they had when he came back with one story in 2023 was immeasurable. We hope that Paul is doing well, and we can’t wait for more stories.

A must listen for kids!

My kids love this podcast and demand it every night. They think every Paul they hear about is Paul Kolker from Bookmarked they love him so much!

We just discovered it and are loving it!

My kids love the stories with the fun voices and silly sounds. It’s making us re-visit some of our own books at home that we forgot about.
