All of the major animal species are covered, together with some of the more wild and exotic species, and full-colour photographs reveal eachtype of poop in all its glory. Handy identification tips and 'Scat Facts' run throughout the book to help you gain confidence in your poop-identification ability.

Customer Reviews

Good fun and almost educational
An ideal novelty present for someone who's not easily offended. Some of the pictures let it down as they're not all photographs - some are just drawings, which doesn't really have the same effect, nor are they as useful to recognition purposes.

Not worth it. Skim it in the shop and avoid
It's like the author dreamt up an 'amusing' title and then was faced with the task of filling some pages to accompany it. It's of no interest or use to anyone and isn't funny at all.

Meh,
I bought this as a joke present and thats all it can aspire to be. The various stools, turds and pats it includes are less than intersting and it lacks any real element of humour other than the title. It's written in the style of a reference book but contains little more than glib comments pulled out of a google search, if this was handed in as a GCSE assignment it would struggle to attain a D grade; that is, if there were a GCSE in animal poo. Inpired by how the author duped me out of 7 quid with a slightly witty title I am considering producing a book entitled DIRTY SHAGS (and other sealife effected by polution) easy innit?
