What is the relevance of the book title?

[Liveforchrist51]

I did not like the title to be honest. It was misleading and I felt the relevance was lacking. You think it’s going to be a child’s book or something silly and it is something totally opposite when you read the description. I judge a book by the title. I am guilty.

The title is very catchy and fun, and I agree that the title creates a sense that the book will be a children's book. I think the title was chosen to catch the reader's attention and make the book more fun and enjoyable.

Well obviously from all the replies on here, the author got peoples’ attention with the book title and cover. I always try to find something in every book that I read that relates back to the title. So there is a story in here about the rooster in the bathtub. Plus there are a lot of other interesting stories in this book.

Well since it correlates with one of her life experiences, I do think it’s fitting. However, one could argue that it is definitely an eye-catching title and very unique. I also thought that this may be a children’s book at first, so who knows it may backfire for some.

The book title certainly caught my attention, and I'll admit I initially assumed it to be a children's book as well. I think the author’s intention is to pique a potential reader’s interest with a catchy title. It's a clever ruse and it certainly works.

Like what many are saying- I think it really was intended to make it look like an unsuspecting childrens' book. It sells it really well, and that transitions into the style of writing. Not the best title, but not bad by any means.

I actually bypassed There is a rooster in the bathroom! so many times assuming it's a kid's book. The title is totally relevant cause of two things: 1. It shows the author's sense of humour and you can already tell the kind of fun book it's going to be. 2. The author included a story that relates to the title making it relevant

The title caught my attention. I do not know whether this is the author's intention (a good one!). It is a funny way to look at life. So, we will respect the author's choice and leave it as it is.

When I saw the cover and the title, I thought it was a children's book. However, reading through the book, I think the author used it as a form of catchy title.

I had read part of this book a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I love humor when reading, even in helpful books or inspirational type books. I found the cover very catchy. I didn’t think it was a children’s book, but I thought it was maybe a comic type book inside. Boy am I glad I was wrong! I’ll finish it at some point soon. I am enjoying what I’ve read so far.

When I first saw the Cover and read the Title I thought it was a Children's book until I found it was not. It would be quite a surprising to find a rooster in the bathroom, and the Author did find one. It may be that and a deeper meaning associated to it too. In ones personal space (bathroom) you find something that's not supposed to be there, it will come as a big shock indeed.

[John Owen]

I think the title is all too confusing, a very bad thing in a self-help book. The cover too made it look like a children's book. I don't see the relevance of the title at all.

[Sushan Ekanayake]

Same here. I thought at first that it was a kid's book based on the title.

I think it was more the author's decision to make the title catchy. I, personally, find intriguing and catchy titles more likely to pique my interest. If the title intrigues me, I'll definitely check the synopsis of the book and maybe end up reading it.

I agree with you. The author has every right to choose a catchy title to her book. And I am glad that I am not the only one who thought that this was a children's book by just seeing the cover page and the book title.

For the note, the author had actually had a rooster in her room for some time and probably she wanted to highlight that through this title.

[Sushan Ekanayake]

There is a story in the book that the title refers to. This title also gears you up for the whimsical stories you are going to encounter within it. I like it because it stands out and you know that reading this one isn't going to be boring.

That is true. The book actually contains a story related to this main title.

Though the author had the chance to choose anything else from her book as the main title, she has gone to this one. And I strongly believe that with her advertising knowledge and experience, she has gone to the most catchy title, and her choice had not failed her.

[Sushan Ekanayake]

The book title is quite humorous. I found it appealing and interesting. The title definitely caught my eye. It is not every time you come across such a catchy title. I honestly thought the book was a bedtime story book for children, but to my surprise it was more than that. The author's choice of the title is one we do not come across nearly enough.

Seemingly I have got some fellow book club members that think alike. Yes you are correct. Many will think that this is a children's book due to its humorous and unusual title as well as the drawing on the cover page.

Maybe the author wanted the same, to the reader to think "what sort of a book is this ?" and have a look into, and she has been very much successful in that, if it was her intention while choosing this topic.
