Poop

<b>Playful but filled with information this book takes poop out of the sewers and into the scientific community where it belongs. &#151;<i>The Horn Book</i><br></b><br>Hippos navigate by it sloths keep in touch through it dung beetles eat it . . . and most grown-ups would rather not mention it. But scientists who study animal feces find out all sorts of things such as the number of insects a bat eats or just how a T. rex devoured a triceratops 70 million years ago. Poop is an excellent prototype for recycling and perhaps the most useful stuff on Earth. Take a peek at&#160;<i>Poop</i>&#160;and find out what it&#146;s for where it goes and how much we can learn from it.<br>Back matter includes an index and a glossary.
