Hold your nose and dive into one of the most fascinating (and funniest!) topics in science!

This brilliantly bonkers issue of Whizz Pop Bang is packed with everything kids want to know about POO! Discover the trillions of microbes living in your gut and how they help keep you healthy, then explore the weird and wonderful ways animals use poo in the wild, from marking territory to feeding their young. Investigate how your body digests food, then find out why some poos float and others sink.

Recreate the digestion process right at the kitchen table and try a delicious (yet absolutely dsgusting) edible poo recipe – yes, really! There are puzzles, quizzes, jokes and amazing facts on every page, including how toilets flush and how dung can power cars!

With a mix of laugh-out-loud humour and real science learning, this issue is the perfect way to get children engaged, thinking and experimenting – all while having loads of fun.
