Ever wonder how a knight in armor went to the bathroom? What about a lady wearing a hoop dress as wide as your teacher's desk? How does an astronaut "go"? These are the things I've always wondered. So I decided to find out. POOP HAPPENED! explores human history from the bottom up.
Aimed at kids 8 and up, POOP examines how societies from ancient times to present day have had to confront the vexing problem of what to do with their waste. It's full of disgusting factstrust me, kids will love it. And they'll learn a lot of history. For a chance to win a signed copy, email me at albees@taftschool.org.
I'd love to hear what you think of it. Please email me, tweet me (@sarahalbee), or join my POOP fan page on Facebook!
The fluid writing style ensnares and holds readers' attention from beginning to end. By bringing history alive, this captivating work is without a doubt an essential purchase.
