Making a book on poop is unusual. It's done in a playful way, so I'm sure kids would find it entertaining and educational at the same time.

I went to read the title thinking it was a book for me! Then started laughing!! My 7 and 8 year olds would love this book. They're at the age of everything gross, weird, everyday bodily fluids are hilarious. Plus I love a fun book for us all and one that will engage them at this age. I'm excited to grab this story of poop, Beagles, and their smart noses.

I love dogs and animal stories, but the poop-sniffing part is not something I feel especially attracted to.

This appears to be a unique children's book about dogs. It delves into a common topic that is seldom encountered in children's literature. It appears to be an acquired taste (or scent in this case).

This book explains why dogs are used in the police force because of their keen sense of smell. It is also fun, and children would love reading it and learning more about other animals. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Although the subject is a bit gross, anybody who owns or has owned a dog, knows that it is realistic. Dogs love to investigate interesting smells and because of their extraordinary olfactory ability, they smell a lot more than humans can. Evaluating poop gives the author the opportunity to teach children more about other animals and also creates some suspense as the dogs decide what the absolutely best smell for them is.

I knew dogs can smell better than humans but 10,000 to 100,000 times better is alot. Very interesting review.

This book is not only creative but also educative. Who would have thought such a book exists? Feels kind of weird, but I would give it a shot. Nice review.

I like the fact that this book "has no traditional plot development" yet still manages to be an entertaining and informative read. As someone who likes dogs, I'll definitely value the learnings about dogs that I'll gain from reading the book.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I already love the coloring of the illustrations, and I am certain kids will like them too. The story being about dogs was also a great choice because dogs are most kids' favourite animal friends. Nice review.

This is great! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a children book about poop. I think kids would absolutely adore the beagles and love this unorthodox story. Greta review!

The review is direct and written in a consistent manner with regard to the subject of the book. Perhaps it is not appropriate enough for me, but I am sure that it will delight many children. Good choice for BOTD
