"What do they do with all that poo?" by Jane Kurtz and Allison Black (Simon and Schuster / Beach Lane Books)

Well it's a valid question! What do zoos and safari parks DO with all that poo?

With the rate some animals produce the stuff, you'd be neck deep in it within a few weeks so here's a fascinating book that digs deep into the pongy problem.

In "What do they do with all that poo?" by Jane Kurtz and Allison Black you'll get to peek behind the scenes of a zoo, and learn a lot more about how different animals poot, plop and produce their waste.

(Probably best at this point to put down your sandwiches or snacks, we're in for the long haul here).

Did you know, for example, that Sloths only poo once a week?

Did you know that Panda poo is actually green - and doesn't actually pong much at all?

Did you know that Hippos are the 'muck spreaders' of the animal kingdom, spraying their poo all over the place and flapping it around with their tails to mark their territory.

Panda Poo is Green! Panda Poo is Green!!!!

You'll find all these facts and many many more in this fascinating dig (ew) into this thorny, nutty subject.

It's bound to be a firm favourite with kids, this one, let's face it - they never really need an excuse to giggle and chortle at anything poo related.

Spray it don't say it. Best not to be anywhere near a Hippo when it lets rip!

Sum this book up in a sentence: Fun, and extremely informative stuff for animal and plop fans.
