Meet dung detectives getting to the bottom of history's hind-end mysteries.

Jacob Berkowitz is a science writer who lives near Ottawa, Ontario. He has written for The Globe and Mail, the Ottawa Citizen and other publications. Jurassic Poop is his first book for children.
Technically, the book is superbly organized, and written in a zippy, engaging style that balances fact with fun? any young reader fascinated with prehistoric life will love Jurassic Poop.
The young and the curious will enjoy the presentation of a seemingly infinite amount of information ? as much as the subject matter itself.
Berkowitz’ style is goofy and lighthearted, but there’s plenty of real information ? this is an effectively wacky look at a revealing if odd branch of science.
