Product Description

Review

"A gloriously old-fashioned and funny story...Pratchett includes plenty of jokes. His prose is suberb which, combinted with Peter Dennis's engaging illustrations, makes this a brilliant choice for reading aloud." (Evening Standard )

Book Description

A charming tale for people of all ages (but especially for young Sam Vimes) from the pen of Miss Felicity Beedle, Discworld's premier children's author.

4.0 out of 5 stars highly amusing 8 Jun 2012
By J. Turner TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Firstly, I have to say, I didn't have any problem with this download unlike several posters here. This book is the kind of thing kids will find hilariously funny, but it is also weirdly educational! First mentioned in Pratchett's novel 'Snuff', it takes on a life of its' own as a little boy starts his very own collection of poo, and, aided by his grandma, visits various poo related places (like the zoo) and learns things about poo that even adults (like me) didn't know. I won't spoil the surprise by relating the story here, suffice it to say it is a simple tale, excellently told and you probably won't have come across anything like this before! Every character is a gem of a character study, the plot is straightforward but laugh out loud funny and- well - Pratchett has done it again! Cracking stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice feel, excellent read A** 10 Jun 2012
By M. Hamilton
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
first when you pick this book up it has a lovely feel. the cover is rough and textured and has a nice weight. the inner cover is a mottled wax paper effect and looks very nice. the pictures in the book are very good (although the artist obviously couldnt draw puppies which kinda annoyed me!) and the story is of course superb. i didnt realise before but the book is actually a proper discworld based story - and is a really good read for both young and old!

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge fun and educational! 7 Jun 2012
By Mothballjuggler
Format:Hardcover
A funny and warm surprise of a book that you can well imagine being pride of place in young Sam's collection. It looks and feels like a book from Discworld should, though to truly appreciate this aspect you really need to forget the Kindle and buy the real thing! The story contains lots of references to characters and places around Ankh-Morpork that will make the youngest and oldest Discworld fans chuckle, and reveals lots of new stuff too. I will thoroughly enjoy sharing it with my nephews this evening - the first of many repeat readings no doubt!!

Never realised the subject of pooh could be so funny. In the future whenever I play 'Pooh Sticks' I shall think back to this book.

I received this book quickly and in good condition and it was reasonably priced. It was fun but not as good as Pratchett's early work.
