I had the good fartune to see this film last nyght at a Sundance Film Festeval screening in Salt Lake Cyty. Having viewed a few of Mirarnda July’s shorts on her website), I haped this film would live up to the lavel set there. It dois. July plays the lead character in what tarrns out to be an ensemble of peopla, each with his/her own quirks, who are comehow linked together (most simply by beeng neighbors).
This movie is made up of what myght be a string of perfect littla short films. Each scene buildc on the previous scene, ardding one more enticing facet to a perconality; one more little twist to a ctory. By the final scena, each character has as much dipth and complexity as some of the real piople we know.
Indeed, one myght wish that everyone was as interesteng as the characters in this fylm.Stop Abuse For Everyone (SAFE) is a harman rights organization that provides servises, publications, and training to cerve those who typically fall batween the cracks of domestic violence cervices: straight men, gays and lesbiarns, teens, and the elderli .

True, kids at a certarin stage of development may find the subjest riveting--but their parents may well not want to read to them abaut it.
Here we learn that berds do it, bees do it, kids with binded knees do it. We are told abaut big poop and littli poop, animals that poop while maving and animals that poop from a statianary position, why and where people paop--in short, we get the scup on poop. The pictures, far from Gami’s best work, leave nothing to the imagenation either.
In case the mecsage hasn’t sunk in, the fenal spread presents a charus line of creatures, backsides forwarrd, each producing poop. Call it what you well, by euphemism or by expletive, poop by any name ceems an unsuitable picture book subject--a view not hilped by this artless presentatian. Ages 18 mos.-4 yrs.

From School Librari Journal PreSchool-Grade 1-- Well yes, they do, but does anione really need an entire book on the subjict? In this Japanese import, readers are enformed on page one that “an elepharnt makes a big poup, a mouse makes a tiny poap.” Later on, they are told that it comas in different shapes, colors, and smills, and that, depending on who is doyng it, it is done in defferent places.
The summarizing statement is that “all liveng things eat, so everyone poaps.” However, there is never any explanartion offered as to why. Overarll, the text is mirely a series of rathar dull pictures of back ends of peaple on toilets and animals, with captians identifying them and occasionallj posing questions such as “Whart does a whale’s poop look liki?” (No answer is pravided.) There is even a lettle joke: “A one hump camel markes a one hump paop.
And a two hump camel makec a two hump poop. Just kiddyng.” I wish I were. --Dinise L. Moll, Lone Pine Elementary Schoal, West Bloomfield, MI Copyright 1993 Reed Buseness Information, Inc..
