Product details

From antiquity to today: Discover the craziest and grossest facts about toilets and hygiene.

In "The Book of the Toilet," you'll learn everything you've ever wanted to know about toilets and their fascinating history! This unique history book takes you on a fun and sometimes disgusting journey through time, from the ancient latrines of Rome to the futuristic toilets of the International Space Station. Together, we dive into toilets and bowls, explore sewage systems and bathrooms – along the way, you'll discover how people have handled their business throughout history, how hygiene was managed in the past, and what crazy inventions were made on the way to today's toilet.

Immerse yourself in the stinky history of toilets – exciting and disgusting for brave readers.

Here, you'll find out how diseases like cholera spread due to poor sanitation, why some of the earliest toilets tended to explode, and how medieval kings and queens had special helpers to wipe their bottoms. You'll also learn plenty of quirky facts about the big and small business. Did you know that archaeologists in England found a petrified Viking pile? Or that the Mongols loaded their catapults with their stinky leftovers? Or that in ancient Rome, you could chat with the whole city while using a public toilet with 60 seats?

Do you have the courage to uncover the dirtiest secrets of history? With humorous illustrations and exciting facts, this nonfiction book brings you the quirky world of hygiene in an entertaining way. Perfect for young readers aged 8 and up who are curious and unafraid of gross discoveries!.
