PreS-Gr 1–Children are fascinated by bodily functions, and this book endeavors to capture that need to know with a plethora of poo-related information. A cat and a fox, illustrated in bright collage illustrations, find poo in all sorts of places, starting with the sidewalk. From that encounter, they travel from location to location, including the zoo and the ocean, discovering different types of feces and the creatures that produce them. Eventually they discover what happens to the waste and how human waste is safely treated, as well as other ways waste is useful in the world. There are several illustrations featuring adult humans sitting on toilets with an audience, leaving privacy out of the conversation.
VERDICT An interesting collection of basic poop information with illustrations that will engage young readers wanting to know more.
