It's time to get to the bottom of toilets! Prepare to be revolted by: - A fossilized Viking turd discovered by archaeologists - The Mongol catapult used to fling smelly poop at their enemies - The reason ancient Romans used pee to wash their clothes Filled with poop facts and vomit-inducing stats, you will also learn how diseases like cholera spread through bad sanitation, why some of the earliest toilets had a tendency to explode, and how medieval kings and queens had special helpers to wipe their bums. Featuring hilarious illustrations by Ella Kasperowicz, it's a history book like no other!

Author Biography:

Olivia Meikle and Katie Nelson are professors, podcasters--and sisters! Their first joint venture was a speculative enterprise where Katie (age 7) attempted to dig a hole to China, and Olivia (age 11) built a hospital for all the worms that came out of the hole. The project went so well that they've enjoyed working together ever since. Together they host the popular What'sHerName history podcast and teach History (Katie) and Women's Studies (Olivia) on opposite sides of the Rocky Mountains. Olivia and Katie previously wrote The Book of Sisters for Neon Squid. Ella Kasperowicz, AKA Ellastrated, is a UK-based illustrator. She creates playful, relatable and modern information illustrations inspired by travel, mental health, and friendship.
