Who Gives a Poop?
\nSurprising Science from One End to the Other<\/a><\/p>\n

By: Heather L. Montgomery, Illustrator: Iris Gottlieb
\n<\/strong>Bloomsbury Children’s Books\/October 13, 2020<\/strong>
\nAges 10-14, 192 pages<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the publisher says:<\/h1>\n

This uniquely crafted narrative nonfiction invites readers to follow the author into science labs, forests, hospitals, and landfills, as the author asks: Who uses poo?<\/p>\n

Poop is disgusting, but it’s also packed with potential. One scientist spent months training a dog to track dung to better understand elephant birthing patterns.

And every week, some folks deliver their own poop to medical facilities, where it is swirled, separated, and shipped off to a hospital to be transplanted into another human. There’s even a train full of human poop sludge that’s stuck without a home in Alabama.<\/p>\n

This irreverent and engaging book shows that poop isn’t just waste-and that dealing with it responsibly is our duty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here are my thoughts:<\/h1>\n

OK, I have to confess: I had so much fun reading this book! It felt like I was walking through the woods on an exciting adventure with a trusted friend. The author’s voice is unfailingly authentic, and each chapter contains a ton of real science alongside genuine human emotion and just the right amount of humor. I think what I loved most about it, however, is…<\/p>\n
