The Very Hungry Beagles Guide to Poop: Poops you find on a sniffari, or, what I ate before my butler could stop me! is a children's book. Mr. Beckham, Lucky, and Peanut wrote this book and dictated it to M. Jackson. A beagle has gathered information through years of experience to create this book.

This book focuses on the different types of poop a beagle may encounter throughout his life. Each chapter deals with a particular animal and its poop. The book rates each type of poop on different scales and then provides a final score for them. This book is a manual for other beagles to follow. It will help any beagle who is looking for new types of poop. At the end of the book, the best poop comes forth. I encourage you to read the book yourself to find out which poop is best.

There is artwork at the beginning of every chapter. Ros Webb illustrates the book with a unique style. It made me feel as if a child had drawn these pictures. This style is fitting for the book and its subject matter.

The writing is stylized and convincing. I truly felt like a beagle had written the text. Even as a human, I began to contrast and compare the different types of fecal matter as if I were a beagle. Is goat poop worth it for all the trouble the goat will cause? Is rare possum poop worth looking for? This reaction from me is a testament to the quality of the writing.

Some people may be disgusted by the details listed in the book about poop. One needs to think like a beagle to be able to understand the contents of the book. If one has the mindset of a beagle, humor readily presents itself. I had a lot of fun reading it.

The only issue I had with the book is that the beagles call their human friends their butlers. Given how beagles look and act in real life, I don't think they have this mindset. I would say that this personality of superiority is more fit for cats, given how they act so mighty around humans. This disagreement might just be because I am biased toward dogs. I still enjoyed my time with the book.

I did not spot any grammatical errors or editing mistakes in the text. It seems well-edited. There is no profanity. The writing suits the subject matter. The artwork fits the style of the book. It serves as an excellent children's book. I found nothing to dislike about the book. Accounting for the above points, I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Any child will have a great time with the book.

"I never expected someone to make a book about this. Especially since its genre is children's literature. However, I think it's an interesting idea, considering the premise offered by this book. Reading your review also makes me interested in reading this book. Thank you for writing this review."
