About this book

Zoo keeper Bob McGrew loves his animals, but his least favourite job is scooping up their poo, which comes in all shapes and sizes. When a mischievous iguana escapes into the café, he eats everything in sight, including eleven lime lollies and some sparkly fireflies. The result of his greed is an enormous glowing lime green poo.

Assuming it came from outer space, Bob puts the dazzling specimen on display and visitors flock to see it. Prestigious poo collector, Hector Gloop, is keen to add it to his extensive collection of panda poop, dinosaur doo-doo and dragon dung.

Rhyming text, detailed illustrations and plenty of toilet humour combine to create a silly tale which is sure to appeal to young children, and could be particularly useful when potty training.
