Mouse, disgusted by a stinky pile of poo that appeared outside its home, sets out to find out whose poo it is. Many animals declare that it is not theirs because it is too big, too stinky, not shaped right, or even too dark. Even once the culprit is found, mouse has to live with the poo where it is, at least until nature takes its course. The digital illustrations show the perfect amount of poo details, as well as a brief bit of poo facts at the end, with various types of poo shown and explained. Great fun for young readers to laugh over while learning something about animals.
