Review of The Very Hungry Beagles Guide to Poop
From the book's intriguing title, it's evident that this book is about an unconventional literary topic—poop. I prepared myself for what was to come, but what lies within the pages is beyond my imagination.
"The Very Hungry Beagles Guide to Poop: Poops You Find on a Sniffari, or, What I Ate Before My Butler Could Stop Me!" is dictated by M. Jackson and written by a group of authors, namely Mr. Beckham, Lucky, and Peanut.
The book is narrated from the perspective of two beagles as they evaluated the smell, taste, texture, and rarity of over ten types of animal poop. They further provided an overall score after each analysis. Just as a food critic evaluates a dish based on several factors, the two beagles critiqued the poop of various animals. I hope you get the picture.
While the content may not be appealing, I did not regret reading this book. It's informative and humorous, and I believe you'll feel the same, especially if you're a hardcore dog lover.
I appreciate the book for several reasons. To begin with, it sheds light on the behavior of dogs, especially beagles. While we might see all poop the same way, the book reveals that dogs have different preferences. It helps us understand why they may enjoy one type of poop while avoiding another. Now I can say with confidence that I have a better grasp of why our furry friends have a peculiar fondness for rolling in poop. What may seem disgusting to us holds a different significance for them.
Ros Webb, the illustrator, did an excellent job with the artwork. The beagles look adorable, and the illustrations accurately capture their different body postures. I also like how the writers divide the book into sections. It enhances the readability without overwhelming the reader. I did not encounter a single error, which shows that the book has been exceptionally well-edited.
Another thing I notice is that the writers appear to have undergone thorough scientific research since the content in this book isn't something one's imagination can whip up. Last but not least, the book contains no profane words.
Overall, I dislike nothing about the book and confidently give it a 5-star rating. I highly recommend it to dog behaviorists, dog lovers, or any reader seeking something different for a change.
