Poo: A Natural History of the Unmentionable

Get the scoop on poop! Hippos navigate by it, sloths keep in touch through it, rabbits eat it… and most grown-ups prefer not to mention it at all! However you look at it, poo is probably the most useful stuff on Earth. This surprising substance comes in all shapes, sizes, textures and pongs, and every animal has its own special sort… not bad for something that drops out of your bottom for free! Discover everything you always wanted to know about droppings but were too polite to ask in this laugh-out-loud funny fact book.
