The World of Poo
The World of Poo | Terry Pratchett
15 posts | 10 read | 8 to read
A charming tale for people of all ages (but especially for young Sam Vimes) from the pen of Miss Felicity Beedle, Discworld's premier children's author. From Snuff: 'Vimes' prompt arrival got a nod of approval from Sybil, who gingerly handed him a new book to read to Young Sam. Vimes looked at the cover. The title was The World of Poo. When his wife was out of eyeshot he carefully leafed through it. Well, okay, you had to accept that the world had moved on and these days fairy stories were probably not going to be about twinkly little things with wings. As he turned page after page, it dawned on him that whoever had written this book, they certainly knew what would make kids like Young Sam laugh until they were nearly sick. The bit about sailing down the river almost made him smile. But interspersed with the scatology was actually quite interesting stuff about septic tanks and dunnakin divers and gongfermors and how dog muck helped make the very best leather, and other things that you never thought you would need to know, but once heard somehow lodged in your mind.'

A Discworld short story about poo, a young man that finds it fascinating and all the good and bad that can be accomplished with it, with the Discworld twists, of course. Not great for me, but I could see it being quite good for a very young person learning to not be grossed out by nature, and how well nature recycles things. Probably very good for the potty training age group.

Soubhiville While I understand why he wrote this book, I have to admit I didn‘t care for it. One of the few by him that just wasn‘t for me. 2y
BookmarkTavern It might be because I read it to an almost six year old, but I did actually enjoy this one. My nibling had so many questions as we read the book, and they loved the illustrations. 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m behind with this one, it took me awhile to track down a copy of this short story about poo, a young man that finds it fascinating & all the good and bad that can be accomplished with it, with the Discworld twists, of course. Not great for me, but I could see it being quite good for a very young person learning to not be grossed out by nature, and how well nature recycles things. I‘m sure great if read with young, potty training kids. 2y
julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I agree, it's definitely a book for young readers. 2y

When Geoffrey is sent to stay with his grandmother as his family gets ready for a new baby, he discovers the wild and marvelous world of poo.

This was a charming tale to read to my nibling! In Pratchett fashion, the footnotes are at times longer than the chapters, but the story is informative and delightful. And Geoffrey is surrounded by adults who support and encourage him. ❤️ Even in such an unusual hobby. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

My 4 year olds 'big boy books' book shelf. He's zooming through the reading set him at school, so I now regularly sit with him and encourage him to read a page or 2 of these books. World of poo was a particular favourite of his!

I'm headed into my last 3 hours of reading for #24in48! I can't believe I'm in my last library book I took out for the #readathon! I think I'll finish up with some Harry Potter once I'm done with this silly fun Terry Pratchett.

I know there's no way I'll get to all of these during @24in48 , but I'm going to do my best! I'm so excited, I actually took a day off from work to read! I feel scandalous! Oh I also have audiobooks for drive time and exercise time!

kdwinchester Woohoo!! Great stack! 8y
