Awfully ancient

a disgusting journey through the bowels of history!

Nothing could be more interesting to young readers than the history of the toilet! From the sewage system of ancient Athens to the muckrakers of the Middle Ages, there's plenty to learn about history from discovering the "how" and "where" of the loos of many important civilizations. Unique information reframes common social studies topics and time periods including ancient China, Victorian times, and more. Amusing illustrations and a full-color layout enhance the main content as readers traverse the dirty details
