Synopsis

A Discworld series tie-in picture book, a companion to Snuff (part of the City Watch novels). Go beyond the novels to discover more about the fantastically funny and gloriously inventive world of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.

'A gloriously old-fashioned and funny story... A brilliant choice for reading aloud.' Evening Standard

The World of Poo tells of a boy’s adventure in his first visit to the mighty Discworld metropolis of Ankh-Morpork. As featured in Terry Pratchett’s Snuff, this is a delightfully illustrated adventure for readers of all ages. Guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of young and old alike.

From Snuff: 'The title was The World of Poo... As [Vimes] 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...'

'Terry Pratchett is not so much a writer as a one-man publishing phenomenon who has single-handedly re-shaped the world of fantasy fiction' SFX's Outstanding Contribution Award

Goodreads review by Jim

I'm not a big Pratchett or Discworld fan. I vaguely remember reading a couple when they first came out but they're British humor which tends to miss my funny bone. Then there were so many that it was plain crazy & confusing. This is #39.5, I believe. Thankfully, it is short & stands well on its own.......more
