'A gloriously old-fashioned and funny story... A brilliant choice for reading aloud.' Evening Standard

The World of Poo tells of a boy’s adventure in his first visit to the mighty Discworld metropolis of Ankh-Morpork. As featured in Terry Pratchett’s Snuff, this is a delightfully illustrated adventure for readers of all ages. Guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of young and old alike.

From Snuff: 'The title was The World of Poo... As [Vimes] turned page after page, it dawned on him that whoever had written this book, they certainly knew what would make kids like Young Sam laugh until they were nearly sick. The bit about sailing down the river almost made him smile...'

'Terry Pratchett is not so much a writer as a one-man publishing phenomenon who has single-handedly re-shaped the world of fantasy fiction' SFX's Outstanding Contribution Award

It's just a story about a boy who collects poo.

There are some clever bits in the beginning, some nice observations about the excrements from all of us, but once the story gets going there's really not much story. It really is just about a boy going around collecting poo and meeting people involved in related industries. But it's short and pleasant.
