If I were a little child interested in animals and nature, I'd go crazy over this book. I believe books can change lives and I genuinely believe this may create a lot of nature detectives! Any child, living near greenery, can enjoy this book and then go to his/her adventures.

I love how this book teaches a lot without being boring, and I enjoyed answering the little tests about each subject. The illustrations are highly informative and pleasant to look at.

We loved the cover of this book. What more could a child want than a book about POO!! The page about the sizes of different animal poo was interesting and how the bigger the animal the bigger the poo. We liked the page about animal tracks too. We feel that children would find this book funny and interesting. We loved the illustrations however feel that real photos in places would have been nice. We like the quizzes in each section too. This is one that we will certainly look out for. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.

This is a great book, after all which child doesn’t love poo? The images are lovely, although it would have been better if there are photographs of the poo. This is a great on for school libraries or young wildlife lovers.

A great introduction to tracking animals through a number of different methods - from the titular poo clues, through to tracks, feathers, nests, eggs and even the half-eaten meals that they leave behind. So if you find a pile of poo in the wilderness, this book should help you to identify what animal group it comes from, and help you narrow it down! It also has handy reference guides to the scary sides of nature that you should avoid when you're out there - from lions to bears to snakes and other dangerous beasts.
A great book for kids, who will love the title and hopefully learn a lot when they read it!
