DUNG FOR DINNER

Discover the stomach-churning truth about the animal poop, pee, vomit, and secretions that humans have eaten throughout history - and sometimes still do!

DUNG FOR DINNER is Christine Virnig's laugh-out-loud middle-grade nonfiction debut. From Roman charioteers scarfing wild boar dung to astronauts guzzling their own pee to today's kids spreading insect vomit on their toast, this humorous compendium is chock-full of history, science, and fascinatingly gross facts. Bug secretions coating your candy corn? Rodent poop in your popcorn? Physicians tasting their patients' pee? It's deliciously disgusting! Christine Virnig makes her kidlit debut with Dung for Dinner. Christine is a pediatric physician specializing in allergies where?in addition to dodging the occasional snot rocket or projectile vomit?she gets to talk about topics that most adults find downright repulsive, like phlegm, snot, and dust mite poo. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, two children, and two hairball producers.
