CSIRO Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-4863-1486-7 (ISBN)
Poo, Spew and Other Gross Things Animals Do! will show you how being gross isn't just hilarious – it can be an important survival strategy for animals all over the world.
Take a deep breath and step into the world of not just poo, but also spew, snot and all the other gross things animals do to survive and thrive. From using poo to build a nest, leaving stinky secretions to find a mate, or oozing slime to deter a predator, the animals in this book are amazing … and revolting.
Discover a whole world of poo, learn how to be a poo detective, and meet some of the great scientists doing gross and yucky work! You'll laugh. You'll cry. You might even throw up!
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 8-12.
Nic Gill is a Tasmanian author, environmental writer and conservation dog handler. Her dog, Zorro, is a Tasmanian masked owl vomit detection dog, and is also an avid consumer of books, albeit in a more literal sense than Nic would like. Dr Romane Cristescu trained and worked as a vet in France before relocating to Australia to study koalas. She is also a poo science evangelist, who likes nothing more than discussing the illuminating qualities of animal excrement at otherwise polite parties.
