Take a trip around the poo-niverse, with all the best faecal facts squeezed into one book!

The Poo-niverse is your one-stop for excrement information, from poo-eating worm toilets to poisonous poos, from poo particles on toothbrushes to crucial post-poo hand-hygiene tips. Find out about exploding poo in history, where it goes after you flush, which creatures' poos are used to make tea, coffee and cheese, how much of your food is grown using poo - and much, much more.

From high-(and low-)interest excrement information, to important guidance on hygiene and good health, this book taps into the brains of readers who love learning while laughing.

There's a whole world where science meets sanitation: are you brave enough to dive in?

Author Paul Mason and illustrator Fran Bueno bring you an irresistible combination of words and pictures, alongside perfectly poo-filled photos. Great for readers ages 7 to 9 and beyond!

About the Author
Paul's books cover a wide range of subjects, from whether the Romans ate crisps to how to build the world's best skatepark, but he writes mostly about sport. Whether you are interested in swimming, cycling, snowboarding, surfing or another sport, Paul has probably written something that will inspire you to get out and give it a try. Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy. Fran was born and lives in Santiago de Compostela. Since he was a little kid he has loved comic books. He was reading El Jabato at age eight, a comic book that his father always bought him, and in that exact moment he decided to become an artist - he says he even saw a mystic light coming from the window. He is thankful for his parents' support of his art. He studied at art school, and loves travelling with his wife and kids. He loves books, music, movies, and TV shows. If he wasn't an illustrator he would probably be lecturing people about how he achieved living without ever having to 'work'.
