Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This title is astonishing, disgusting, revolting, and ultimately fascinating, making it perfect for emerging entomologists, budding historians, reluctant readers, and gross-out junkies alike. -- School Library Journal, starred review
Tailor-made for epidemiologists-in-the-making and connoisseurs of the gross. * Kirkus Reviews *
This engrossing volume is jam-packed with enticingly gruesome world history. * Booklist *
The breadth of information Albee covers speaks to the way that tugging on a tiny thread of history can yield a vast, multifaceted narrative. * Publishers Weekly *
Will appeal to middle school readers looking for all things gross, creepy, and surprisingly true... The facts are presented in a way that is engaging enough to keep reluctant readers turning the pages. * Library Media Connection *
Readers who enjoy all things gross will find this foray into fecal history most appealing. -- Kirkus Reviews on Poop Happened!
By bringing history alive, this captivating work is without a doubt an essential purchase. -- School Library Journal on Poop Happened!
The lively, browsable format and irreverent tone will keep the interest of kids who ordinarily might balk at historical exploration. -- BCCB on Poop Happened!
