Description

Readers learn how toilets have evolved from their birth to today's technological advancements.

Quick Summary

If your kid goes crazy for anything remotely gross or silly, this little book is right up their alley. Rachel Grack takes something every child already finds hilarious the toilet and turns it into a surprisingly fun mini history lesson, covering everything from ancient chamber pots to the fancy toilets we use today. At just 824 words, it's perfect for new readers or anyone who wants to feel like a big kid reading chapter books without the commitment. Parents will appreciate that it's actually educational too, sneaking in some real history about Roman plumbing and early inventions while keeping things lighthearted and age-appropriate. It pairs really nicely with other "gross but true" nonfiction titles for kids, so if your reader devours books about poop, burps, or the human body, they'll probably ask for more like this one.
