Fantasy. Fiction. Science Fiction. Humor (Fiction.) HTML: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.

This is exactly what it seems to be -- a nostalgic children's book, both in form and content, about excrement, and set in the discworld. While I personally am on a mission to read ALL THE PRATCHETT, one could easily give this one a miss without missing anything. Much like "Where's my Cow?", it makes more sense in the context of the book than in reality -- unless your children are ardent Terry Pratchett fans, in which case, go on with your bad self.

It might actually be quite appealing to young boys who like poo, but I don't have a test group for that. ( )

I checked this book out because the title and cover intrigued me. I've heard of Terry Pratchett, and I know he passed away recently... I felt like I should read something of his. When this appeared in the check-in bin at work, I thought, "Here's my chance!" I didn't know what to expect--it was definitely humorous, dealing with all sorts of poo from all sorts of creatures; yet it was educational and entertaining at the same time.
I felt like it might be aimed at children, as it was written about a child and almost had that "I'm telling a children's story" tone to it... yet, it's cataloged as adult fiction--more specifically, it falls under the SciFi category. If nothing else, I'm re-evaluating my own personal idea of what SciFi entails. ( )

So gross! But very well done. ( )

A children's book set in Discworld, not quite as meta-narritive as Where's my Cow? Fun. ( )

This was definitely one of the stranger things I’ve read in recent years. The World of Poo is a Discworld-based children’s book that is referenced quite a bit in the previous Discworld book I just finished, Snuff. The main character, Geoffrey, develops a fascination with poo and starts collecting samples from various creatures he encounters, some of which are fictional Discworld creatures.

The Amazon product page lists it as being geared toward ages 8 through 12. 12 seems a little old to me, but I guess 8 sounds about right in terms of the simplicity of the story and language. On the other hand, there are a few snide comments aimed more at adults that seem likely to raise some questions. I’m also not sure the average younger child would fully appreciate the Discworld setting and be able to confidently sort through the mish-mash of real and fake facts, unless they’ve read some of the novels.

Anyway, it was a cute and very quick read, and it was a fun little tie-in to the main books. I may even have learned a thing or two from it, although I don’t expect those things to have any major impact on my life... ( )

Apparently it was by the author of Wee and if Young Sam had one vote for the best book ever written, then it would go to Wee. His enthusiasm was perhaps fanned all the more because a rare imp of mischief in Vimes led him to do all the necessary straining noises.'

Incipit

What to tell children about the reality of the human world is always a subject very close to the thoughts of all parents; traditionally, requests from young ones for enlightenment as to where babies come from can be steered in the direction of the stork and the goosebury bush with no great harm done.
