Ever wondered about this whole toilet thing?  I mean really.  What goes on with that eclair you've just gulped down.  What does your body do with it and then where does it end up?  

Everyone in the family lines up for a turn in the bathroom including the family dog... slurp, slurp and the family elephant????  This curious dog leads us through the process of the big flush with all the shenanigans going on in that thing called a tank.  

We follow the pooch out into the front yard to try to dig our way down to the pipe system.  Maybe your house has a septic tank and maybe you live in a city or a suburb with a sewer system.  

This is where you find out what scum is, what sludge is and what a sump is.  Follow that sludge!  How does the wastewater plant work?  Does it ever get a day off?

That waste has a big finish planned so keep reading.

Written for our young readers, this is a highly informative and beautifully illustrated ...well, as beautiful as a toilet and sludge can be... explanation of how this sludge and scum cycle works.  The pictures are carefully labeled and drawn with attention to detail.  Perfect for those readers who like don't enjoy text only reads.

Touches of humor lighten the topic as we travel and explore from the moment the eclair goes in the mouth until the final destination.  Flush on!!!
