This is a children's book that I read to my twin boys. My twin boys for some crazy reason loves any book with poo in it. This book I found very interesting, and I enjoyed all the facts about where poo goes. I think my boys just loved hearing the word poo in a book, but they did think it was cool that was used to power things because we have a big garden they know that poo gets put into gardens. We put chicken poo in our garden. I have to say I did not know all the ways poo was used, so I even learn some poo facts. I think any little boy would love to read this book, and maybe it will be good to be read to kids that are potty training. I loved the pictures in this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley)) or author (Jo Lindley) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Let's be completely honest - most kids are going to pick this book because they are giggling about the word "poo". That being said, this is probably the most comprehensive explanation of wastewater treatment that I've ever encountered. Usually we're just told that waste is filtered out and the water is treated. Lindley gives us at least the basics of every step of the process. There's even mention of fat burgs and other problems in sewer and waste water treatment. It's worth noting that the text has a British air about it, so the details may not be entirely accurate for an American audience. Even so, it's pretty cool. It demystifies something of a taboo subject.

I was super excited about the concept for this book! This is certainly a topic that fascinates children and the book was presented in a fun to read fashion. There were some pages that I felt were a little too wordy for picture book, but overall the book factual and engaging!

This was an amazing and very easily written book. I learned new stuff and didn't even realize the role our poo plays in our daily living. My 5 year old nephew enjoyed it just as much.

Hilariously gross perfection. I have had my kids ask me this exact question, and trying to explain how the pipes take our poop away is confusing without pictures! Plus, I never really knew what they did at waste treatment. Kids love gross truths, so this will go down extremely well with basically everyone under 10, and many over that age as we..

My kids are ages 4 and 9 and both loved this! As soon as I said poop they were both interested in the book. I actually homeschool and we will be using this to talk about cycles and systems for hygeine. Thank you so much for allowing me and my kids the chance to read such a funny and educational book!!

Wow! I personally found this fascinating as did my 10 year old. Gorgeous illustrations and great descriptions witha
glossary for any tricky words. Great for kids of all ages.

Thank you to NetGalley and DK Children for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book. My review is voluntary and all opinions are my own.

Kids love poo and poo discussions! This is a great, educational book to answer plenty of questions kids have. The illustrations are entertaining and informative. Kids everywhere are going to love this one!

Where Does My Poo Go? A really fun, kind of gross non-fiction book for kids. This book was a great start for explaining to kids where their poo goes and the various systems and cycles it goes through after they flush.

Some of the information like recycled human waste as fertilizer are not facts that apply globally so maybe adding in a prompt for children to research the methods in their area would be an idea to include. I also would suggest adding in what you should not flush down the toilet as that is really important to mention since children (and apparently some adults) are still unclear about what should and shouldn’t go into the sewer system and the reasons why.

A wonderfully detailed and illustrative non-fiction children’s book about poo! A very interesting read! I loved how the sewers and pipes flowed throughout each page to make the connections between what is happening and where each part of the process goes & how it’s reused. I would recommend this book as a great place to start when a child asks where their poop goes after they flush.

Thank you to NetGalley and DK Children for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a wonderful book, more exciting than I thought it would be. Wow, little scientists after reading this should understand the whole 20 step proces. makes for a great STEM book too. Cute illustrations. Lots of fun on each page.

This is a great picture non-fiction book for explaining to children how the sewage treatment process works. I even learned a lot as an adult! I don't think there are many books out there that detail this process, so definitely add this to your collection. Everything was explained very clearly, with beautiful illustrations to accompany the text. Children will enjoy the word "poo" but also learn a lot while being entertained. I loved the way the graphics are laid out and it doesn't seem too "busy." The pipes that connect various pages are another nice touch. I think this book could also dispel a lot of myths (that rivers near sewage treatment plants are dirty).

Where Does My Poo Go by Jo Lindley is a fascinating, if somewhat disgusting tale about what happens when we flush waste down the toilet. The story tells what may happen to waste as it goes through sewage processing and what may happen to waste. This may not be what happens in every community, but provides what seems to be the most complex and detailed processing possible. I know at my house we have a septic tank (gross!), so this is definitely not what happens when we flush our toilets. I think it is excellent to discuss with students of all ages. I’m an adult with an advanced degree who has never really thought about this whole process, so I found it pretty interesting.

"What happens when you flush the toilet? / At the touch of a button or the push of a handle, your poo disappears, as if by magic."

<i> Where Does My Poo Go </i> is a fun and well-illustrated way to introduce environmentalism for younger learners. It starts out answering the title question, but ends with a detailed look into waste water sanitation and the water cycle. These dense topics are broken down into easy to follow steps with clear diagrams. First, the reader learns about the "Poo Cycle": the collection of waste in sewers, sewer flushers, bacteria (good and bad), the sanitation tanks, and the use of waste in power plants and farms. The text continues on with an explanation of the water cycle: sanitized water entering the river system, evaporating, condensing, returning as precipitation. and being filtered and chlorinated. The last few pages have a glossary of common terms.

I received an electronic ARC for this book from Net Galley to review. The book is set to release March 9th, 2021.

Where does my poop go? is.a question many have wondered. This illustrated book depicts in simple and elaborate illustrations just where and what poop undergoes once it leaves your bathroom. Children will delight in following the path of how poop is transformed. The illustrations are detailed and have many hidden gems that children will want to find time and time again. The information is simple and easilyunderstood, which can allow for parents and children to understand.

This book was both fascinating and gross and my kids loved every bit of it! Luckily my kids have not been overly interested in where poo goes and we've never had any toilet incidences, but if anything were to happen with natural curiosity this book would have been the best tool to have on hand. This book was really informative and we learned so much. I knew there was a lot of work put into the sewage system and waste management but I had no idea what it all entailed. This book is really detailed with easy to follow illustrations and it's written in a child friendly way. I think this is a great informative book for young children and it would make a fun addition to any children's library.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

However gross, poo is essential and much more of our lives than we realize. I learned a lot as a grown adult and it was broken down simply to explain further to folks

I wanted to like this book and thought I'd also show it to my 9 year-old but I ultimately decided not to even show it to her. The cover is really darling despite the odd subject matter, and the art is the best part of this children's book. I had so many issues, though. For one thing, the facts are not really facts for all areas and some areas are just misrepresented or wrong. Lindley says everything goes down into a sewer and into a big tank, where bubbles are added to help everything separate (she never says what kind of bubbles, like air or soapy agents or chemicals) and good bacteria are added to destroy the bad bacteria. She says methane gas is released and this is used to produce electricity, heat buildings, and produce the gas for our gas stoves. Um..... who do you know who has a gas stove in their kitchen that runs on poo-produced methane gas??? That's natural gas (natural gas companies have been investing in technology to use captured methane gas for the past few years but it is not a mainstream practice and more often involves factory farmed cow manure).

Moving on, Lindley says that the solids are then spread onto our crops to produce healthy foods for us all to eat. Yes, some communities and farms do recycle human waste this way but it is controversial and certainly not in every area. The illustrations of lovely vegetables grown with this big brown mound of waste would turn me off from eating produce for the rest of my life if I were a kid. And there are so many issues that are just completely ignored, like never once does she mention that our sewage treatment plants can't filter out many of our current pollutants or that we shouldn't flush things like medicine or chemicals because they may end up in our food and water supply or in the environment where they harm wildlife. It's all just sort of a happy almost futuristic little fairy tale about how it all goes through curvy pipes to a magic pot that turns it all into something clean and wonderful.

If you do read this with your kids, I'd suggest researching what your area actually does with waste and discussing it. I'd also add lots of more accurate reading to really explain it well.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

Many people love the book Everybody Poops, and this will be a new classic potty book. It talks about where the poop goes after the toliet is flushed. Illustrated with a maze of pipes and tanks, these is a great explanation of how sewage is treated. It will even be helpful for high school environmental science courses, I took environmental science myself in high school and this was a great refresher of those topics.

This would be good for a child that is wondering about where poop goes. There is very detailed illustrations on poop and what happens to it when flushed.

Thank you to NetGalley for an electronic copy to read and review.

This book is good for kids who want the scoop on poop! It would fit well into science, social studies for community, and for showing students a different way to share information when writing.
