A noted zoologist teams up with a playful illustrator to present a fun, fact-filled guide to the fascinating (if not fragrant) world of poop across species.

Hippos navigate by it, sloths keep in touch through it, dung beetles eat it . . . and most grownups would rather not to mention it. Meanwhile, scientists who study animal feces find out all sorts of things, such as how many insects a bat eats or just what technique a T. rex used to devour a triceratops 70 million years ago. However you look at it, poop is the quintessential prototype for recycling and probably the most useful stuff on earth. Take a peek at POOP and find out all you need to know — what it's for, where it goes, and how much we can learn from it.

Me and my friends got this book for my friend, who is super weird, for her birthday!

UM........... i think this is really weird. and i positivily absoultily think i know why its called poop unmentionable! um.......

Wierd, but funny, I guess. Prepare to read the unecspected facts about down under and in the toilet. By the way, if this is your favorite book and you read it whenever you read, seriously people! Talk, read, and THINK about something other than POOP sometime.

This book is very funny!!!! I love books talking about POOP!!! I love it!!! I sure hope you love it, too!!!!!
