The World of Poo is a fun children's book written by the famous author Terry Pratchett and illustrated by Peter Dennis. It was published on June 7, 2012, by Doubleday. This book is special because it first appeared inside another one of Terry Pratchett's books! In his Discworld novel Snuff, a character named Sam Vimes reads The World of Poo to his son, Young Sam. It became Young Sam's new favorite book, taking the place of his old favorite, Where's My Cow?. The real-life book you can buy looks just like the copy Young Sam owns in the story, even including a special message from the fictional author, Miss Felicity Beedle.
