Dung for Dinner
What's Dung for Dinner About
Discover the stomach-churning truth about the animal poop, pee, vomit, and secretions that humans have eaten throughout history–and sometimes still do–in Christine Virnig’s laugh-out-loud middle-grade nonfiction debut. Dung for Dinner is illustrated by Korwin Briggs.From Roman charioteers scarfing wild boar dung to astronauts guzzling their own pee to today’s kids spreading insect vomit on their toast, this humorous compendium is chock-full of history, science, and fascinatingly gross facts. Bug secretions coating your candy corn? Rodent poop in your popcorn? Physicians tasting their patients’ pee? It’s deliciously disgusting! *SCBWI Golden Kite Award Finalist for Older Nonfiction
