Poo: A Natural History of the Unmentionable

Author: Nicola Davies
Illustrator: Neal Layton
Publisher: Walker

This book explains the whys and wherefores of animal excretion. It covers the role of faeces in communication, as nourishment and its role in natural recycling, in addition to providing clues to this as a means of animal identification. The author's mix of scientific and colloquial language and the humorous illustrations are both very engaging.
