No toilets. No plumbing. Just some of nature's most peculiar piles!

Meet a wombat that poops perfect little cubes. A sloth that climbs down from the treetops just to do its business. A bird whose droppings help build entire islands, a beetle that rolls dinner leftovers into giant balls, and an animal whose poo can reveal what it had for lunch. Believe it or not, there's a whole lot more to animal poop than meets the nose!

Guided by Sir Waddle, a dignified naturalist who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty (well, almost), young readers explore thirty of the animal kingdom's most peculiar pooping habits through fascinating true science, dry humor, and beautiful vintage natural history illustrations from the 1700s and 1800s.

Perfect for curious kids ages 7–10, classroom libraries, homeschool science, and anyone who has ever wondered, "Who knew poo could be so interesting?"

Inside you'll find:

• 30 remarkable animals and their peculiar poo habits, from cube-shaped droppings to extraordinary piles of dung

• Restored vintage natural history illustrations on every spread

• Fun facts, Quick Facts, and fascinating details about each animal

• Scientific names explained, with a wink
