Through a Q&A format kids learn about poo with purpose. The rhymes push the narrative along, sharing special words for feces of eleven animals along with how it becomes part of the ecosystem, helping to sustain other creatures. Poop isn’t just fertilizer, it’s serious stuff! Great STEM back matter encourages us humans to consider ways to lessen our waste and make it part of a system.

For anyone who’s ever wondered if and how different animals relieve themselves, this is a fun picture book to find out with. Told in rhyme to match the whimsical nature and voice of the topic, readers learn about the different types of waste products animals release and also about how that excrement is used or broken down in nature. Additional back matter makes it useful in the classroom.
