This irresistibly disgusting book for children will teach you all you need to know about all kinds of animal dung & human waste – what it’s for, how it’s made, where it goes, & lots more! Poo comes in all shapes & sizes. Every animal has its own special sort & some have fascinating uses for it. Wombats use their cube-shaped droppings to mark their territory; potato beetles build a shield of dung for defence; male hippos spray out a faecal shower to attract mates; & rabbits & dung beetles eat their pellets for extra nutrition. We might call it “waste” but in fact, poo is among the most useful stuff on Earth. From building materials & paper to coffee & even water purification, there’s a multitude of manure-based matter in our lives. This unique book is jam-packed with scientific explanations & amazing trivia about human & animal deposits. Did you know, for example, that the global population produces more than a million tonnes of poo every day? Or that an average poo contains 10 trillion bacteria? Or that wars have been fought over guano? All these facts & more are presented, either with jaw-dropping CGI illustrations or eye-popping photography. Additional boxes feature infographics that make information easy to underst&. With endlessly interesting information & incredible visuals, It Can’t Be True! Poo is the perfect way to entertain & amuse your friends, family, & yourself. In fact, you’ll never look at poo in the same way again!
