The Poo that Grew will definitely get your attention and so will the front cover of this new book by the talented duo Peter Bently and Nick East. The Poo that Grew is a rhyming text about a group of animals and insects who live together. However, the monkeys are not impressed when they see the dung beetles rolling poo away and eating it! They are extremely rude to the beetles and then the problems begin. because without the beetles, there will be nobody to clean up the forest and that's just what happens. This book cleverly informs children about the important jobs dung beetles do to help our environment. The fun illustrations support the text and the rhyming text gets everyone involved in a topic that all children will LOVE.POO!!!!! With rhyming text to join in and familiar songs, this book was a big hit with a class of 6-7 year olds! The information about "Brilliant Poop-Scooping Beetles" at the back of the book informs and helps children understand that, without these beetles, plants and trees would start to die and there would be a horrible smell everywhere! A great book to support work on Habitats.
