Birmingham regales us with in-depth information about the pooping habits of several of natires creatures. Pair this with Sara Levine’s Poop For Breakfast (https://kissthebookjr.blogspot.com/2023/09/poop-for-breakfast-by-sara-levine-and.html) for a very educational look at feces. Whether a teacher reads it aloud or not, it will get read! The information is more detailed than a casual reader - K-3 may pick it up for the pictures, but 4-up will really enjoy the material.
