A book within a book. This was a story that Sam Vimes reads to his son in one of the main Discworld books. As such it is set within the discworld universe, but is written in a more naive style. It is less of a childrens book than the title and theme might seem to suggest. The story follows a young boy building a poo museum whilst visiting his family in Ankh Morpork. The book features references to many of Terry Pratchett's characters and places, and the characteristic footnotes that he uses so much. It lacks a lot of his nuanced and comic satirical criticism of the modern world however. Still an entertaining book and a necessary part for any Discworld completionist.
