This book turns animal droppings into a guessing game. It presents seven examples and asks readers to work out which animal left each one. Visual clues guide the identification process, while digitally colored pen-and-ink illustrations accompany the questions. The repeated mystery of each “gift” keeps the focus on noticing clues and connecting them to the animal that made them.
