About this product

Product Information

A charming tale for people of all ages (but especially for young Sam Vimes) from the pen of Miss Felicity Beedle, Discworld's premier children's author. From Snuff- 'Vimes' prompt arrival got a nod of approval from Sybil, who gingerly handed him a new book to read to Young Sam. Vimes looked at the cover. The title was The World of Poo. When his wife was out of eyeshot he carefully leafed through it. Well, okay, you had to accept that the world had moved on and these days fairy stories were probably not going to be about twinkly little things with wings. As he 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. But interspersed with the scatology was actually quite interesting stuff about septic tanks and dunnakin divers and gongfermors and how dog muck helped make the very best leather, and other things that you never thought you would need to know, but once heard somehow lodged in your mind.'

  • Brilliant

    If you read Pratchett then you will love it. Ideal if you want to introduce a younger person to the genre

  • Really good value

    My grandson (and his mother!) really loved this book. It suited his sense of humour (8 year old) and the book is funny without being too rude or smutty about poo !

  • For completing the collection only

    For Pratchett addicts only. The theory was sound but the best part of the book is the list of other (non existant) titles on the back.

  • Terry Pratchett for Big Kids

    A fun read for big kids!

  • Good fun but not quite what I expected

    Just a word of warning to anyone who read Snuff and expects this to be the book that Young Sam loves so much. It isn't a book full of facts about poo so much as a story of a young boy fascinated by various forms of excrement, much like Young Sam himself. I still thoroughly enjoyed it and had a big grin on my face throughout. Not Pratchett's best but a lovely little addition to the Discworld collection.
