The Great Stink: How Joseph Bazalgette Solved London's Poop Pollution Problem by Nancy Carpenter, Colleen Paeff

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

What an excellent non-fiction picturebook! It tells a story few today have heard (at least among my circles) and does it in an accessible, engaging way. The text is well-placed and the information easy to understand. The illustrations are both humorous and detailed, rendered in an easy, loose style that modestly hides how much planning and design must have gone into each spread. The inclusion of modern day information on poop pollution and ways individuals can help curb it is an excellent conclusion!
