Description
This children’s nonfiction book explores human and animal droppings and their surprisingly important roles in nature and human civilization. It takes readers on an adventurous journey through the human digestive tract and into the world of animal droppings, including examples smaller than a grain of sand that nevertheless have great significance. It explains why going to the toilet is important, and not only for our health, how animals use their excrement to communicate, and why some species enjoy eating what has already passed through their bodies. The book also looks at human inventions made from droppings. With wit, perspective and refined humor, Ben Hoare examines a subject familiar to everyone but rarely discussed, dispels myths, presents fascinating facts and shows that even things we may find disgusting play a vital role in nature and human civilization. After reading it, you will never look at this everyday necessity in quite the same way, because even ordinary poop has something to say.
