I Eat Poop. A Dung Beetle Story by Mark Pett 🟌🟌🟌🟌🟌

Dougie is a dung beetle, and his favorite food is poop. Gross! Once you get past the visual of eating poop the book is really funny. Dougie goes to school with a bunch of other bugs and they all have unique personalities that mirror their actual traits. He is worried that once his classmates find out that he eats poop they will make fun of him. As it turns out, they accept his eating preferences and then they all voice their own unusual and weird attributes.

My 5-year-old granddaughter who is a girly girl enjoyed the book immensely. She especially loved the pictures in the back of the book of all the bugs. We had to read each one and then discuss them, which was very educational. Who knew that bugs could be so much fun.

Fun Activity: Go outside with your child and see how many of the different kinds of bugs you can find.
