Book: Who Pooped in the Park?
If you’ve ever hiked with a curious kid, you know the questions never stop. Somewhere between “What’s that?” and “Are we there yet?” comes the inevitable “Who pooped here?” Enter Who Pooped in the Park? (Far Country Press, $12); part nature guide and part scatological detective story, this little book somehow makes learning about poop hilarious and educational. The Glacier National Park edition follows Michael and Emily as they wander through the park, learning to ID animals by their droppings and tracks. The illustrations are bright, charming, and just cartoonish enough to keep things light (even when you’re staring at piles of dung) and the writing is informative without being overly pedantic. By the time your kid closes the back cover, they’ll be identifying turds on the trail with the confidence of a seasoned ranger. It’s a great read for curious children, parents & educators looking to sneak some biology into story time, and anyone willing to turn their next hike into a hands-on wildlife lesson
