The Very Hungry Beagles Guide to Poop by M. Jackson, Lucky, Mr. Beckham, and Peanut offers a humorous exploration of the curious world of dogs and their peculiar fascination with various types of poop. As a reader, I found the book to be a colourful and imaginative journey into the minds of the mischievous beagles as they embark on their poop-filled adventures. With its charming illustrations, the book captures the beagles' escapades, providing a visual feast that enhances its overall enjoyment.

The authors crafted an entertaining narrative that details the distinct characteristics of different poops, including their smell, taste, texture, and rarity. The clever grading system and the ultimate selection of the winning poop inject a playful element, making the book both educational and amusing for young readers. One of the book’s notable strengths is the incorporation of the beagles’ perspectives on the animal kingdom they encounter during their daily walks. This not only adds a layer of fun but also serves as an engaging way for children to learn about different animals and their unique characteristics. By nurturing children's imaginative abilities and expanding their knowledge of the animal world, the book becomes a valuable read. By choosing to write from the viewpoint of the beagles, the authors gave the narrative an endearing touch. Children and their families will find the book's overall humour heightened by the witty commentary and banter amongst the canine characters, resulting in an enjoyable read.

I rate this book five out of five. I find it deserving of this rating for several reasons. The first reason is that the authors’ creative approach to grading poop characteristics and determining a winner adds an enjoyable competitive element to the narrative, making it engaging for young readers. Another reason is that the colourful illustrations enhance the visual appeal, capturing the attention of children and fostering a love for reading. The choice of the text font is another commendable aspect of the book. It aligns with the target audience, ensuring that the text is captivating for children. The simplicity of the grammar employed throughout the book maintains a smooth and enjoyable reading experience.

While I enjoyed the book, I noticed a negative. The background colours used on the pages with text might impede the ease of reading, especially for young eyes. However, this minor concern did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the book.

In conclusion, this book is a delightful addition to children’s literature. It combines humour, education, and colourful illustrations.
