Summary

"Did you know that the global population produces more than a million tons of poo 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? Children aged 9+ will love all these facts and more, presented either with jaw-dropping CGI illustrations or eye-popping photography - plus additional boxes feature diagrams that make information easy to understand." -- publisher website
