Learn about what happens to poop after it's flushed down the toilet in this children's picture ebook.

What happens after you flush the toilet? Discover a hidden world of underground pipes and smelly sewers in this fascinating children's picture ebook.

Everyone has wondered exactly what happens to poop after it is flushed down the toilet. It disappears as if by magic--but there's a lot more going on than meets the eye! This ebook takes young readers through each stage of the sewage system, from the Sewer Flushers who unclog sewers to keep everything moving, to how dirty water is cleaned at the treatment plant. Furthermore, learn how sludge made from our poop can be recycled in many different ways--even generating electricity that powers your television!

Brilliantly illustrated by acclaimed architect and illustrator Jo Lindley, this ebook is a must-have for the home and educators interested in reuse and recycling.

"Following a child’s poo from flush onward, Lindley draws on her architectural design background to produce technically accurate spreads that depict each step of the sewage cycle. After a child flushes their poo (“TA-DAH!”), the waste joins “your neighbor’s neighbor’s neighbor’s poo” in sewers and a sewage plant—featuring “The Battle of the Bugs” (bacteria)—traveling all the way to its return as nutritious soil and clean water. (“So, the next time you flush the toilet, say hello to the ghost of your old poo!”) Key words and easy-to-follow diagrams guide readers through the cycle, discussing the whys and hows of reusing and recycling (sludge can be used to power “machines, gadgets and gizmos”), and offering clear information for readers, who are likely to emerge no longer considering poo a number-two issue. Ages 5–7. (Mar.)" –Publishers Weekly
