Synopsis

This program features original sound design.

In the vein of Please Don't Eat Me and We Don't Eat Our Classmates, I Eat Poop. by Mark Pett is a heartwarming and hilarious audiobook about friendship, fitting in, and accepting each other's differences.

Dougie has a secret: he’s not a ground beetle.
He’s a dung beetle, and he loves eating poop.

Dougie knows he should be proud. Dung beetles help process waste and do other extraordinary things! But Dougie also knows that if anyone at school saw his lunch, he’d be an outcast.

One day, the lunchroom bugs out over a classmate eating poop, and Dougie must make a choice. Can he stand up for his friend—and for his true self?

I Eat Poop. is packed with important social emotional learning themes and is great for classroom or at home discussion. Read I Eat Poop. for conversations about:

- Bullying and being kind
- Standing up for your friends and speaking up for your beliefs
- Being proud of your culture and heritage
- Embracing diversity and accepting and celebrating differences

The book also includes incredible, STEM-related facts about bugs.

A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.

Thanks to Macmillan Audio, Macmillan Young Listeners for the ALC! This book is disgusting and hysterical. My boys (9 and 5) thought it was just the BEST and even I have to admit that while there is a whole lot of poop-eating talk, it’s really funny and there’s a good lesson. The narrator is great and......more

Featured in grandma reads sessions. Yep. We read a book about. . .poop. Embarrassed to even talk about it, much less recommend it. HOWEVER. . .it was a huge success with the kidlets. And, once I stopped slapping my own hands, I got into the science of it and behaved myself. I do have mini-scientists i......more

Quotes

"The fine-lined illustrations, full of details to pore over, are delightful, and the story moves at a quick pace, effectively delivering on both humor and message." —Kirkus Reviews

"Dougie’s school is a refreshing change from cuddly mammal-focused academies, and kids with a taste for grossout humor will adore the details of his lunch and his classmates’ biologically accurate revelations... a cheerfully irreverent intro to enjoyably extreme biology." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
