is power! People and other animals poop out billions of tonnes of
valuable resources every year. What a waste! In nature, poo is a
way for plants and animals to help each other live and grow. It's a
language of conversation among all living things. If we can learn
from other animals, poo can be used to enrich the soil, grow food,
give us renewable energy, and keep our drinking water clean." David

MUD! "Mud is a much neglected topic. Today with a fear of dirt and
germs we avoid and hide away from mud and peat and similar
revolting substances. However, we all need to embrace the muddiness
of our world which helps the ecological wheels turn and supports
all manner of wonderful wildlife and also importantly food
production too. So far from avoiding mud, peat, and similar ooze
and goo, we must protect and nurture our muddy world. Indeed, I
would go further and advocate how adults and children alike must be
champions for Icky Ecology, seize the moment and squelch the mud
pies. Only then will you achieve truly muddy enlightenment. Read
this book and enjoy." Professor Ian D. Rotherham, Professor of

Hank to save the play
In the final book of this bestselling easy-to-read series, Hank

creative and makes up his own version of the story. But will
everyone be able to tell fact from fiction? This bestselling series
written by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is perfect for the
transitional reader. With a unique, easy-to-read font, endless
humor, and characters every kid would want to be friends with, any
