This is a somewhat unusual recommendation (to say the least), but I
genuinely think that a lot of umrats would thoroughly enjoy Richard
Jones's book Call Of Nature: The Secret Life Of Dung.

No, really - it's extraordinarily interesting, genuinely witty and
highly entertaining. I approached it with considerable dubiety, but I
was completely captivated and couldn't wait to get back to reading more.

Review here if interested:

One of the Pratchett children's books was about poo. I got it for
grandson some years ago and think he and his dad enjoyed it.

Does The Author have anything to say about the fascinating subject of
faecal transplants?

The reason I arks is that some animals are born with no (or inadequate
or the wrong type or something) gut bacteria so the young eat the
parents' faeces. I think elephants might be such creatures.

Also, the use of the word "transplant" were one might expect
"inoculation" is interesting. Claudia Hammond (maybe) did a pogrom
explaining that transplants are less heavily regulated than medicinal
therapies in the States, so that's how the procedure got its name.
Though I may have misremembered....

He doesn't, which is slightly disappointing because it is indeed a
fascinating subject. To be fair, he's a world-renowned entomologist
with a special interest in dung beetles so it's a bit out of his area of
expertise, but he does discuss gut flora so a mention would at least
have been appropriate.
