All Australian creatures from galahs and potoroos, to stingrays and goannas, do their own distinctive poos.

Discover which animal has sparkly poo, who poos hundreds of times a day and, of course, whose poos are square! With whimsical illustrations and humorous text, Wombat Poos Are Square explains the important role poo plays in our environment.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
