Summary
This irresistibly disgusting book for children will teach you all you need to know about all kinds of animal and human waste and goo -- what it's for, how it's made, where it goes, and lots more. Did you know, for example, that the global population produces more than a million tons of poop every day? Or that the ancient Egyptians used animal excrement in their medicine? That sea cucumbers can vomit their sticky insides when threatened, yet still survive? All these facts and more are presented either with jaw-dropping CGI illustrations or eye-popping photography. Additional boxes feature infographics that make information easy to understand
