Some of these questions will be answered. What is poop? Does every animal poop? (Spoiler: NO!) Does every animal have a butt? (Spoiler: NO!) Is there really sweet, tasty poop that you can eat? (Spoiler: YES!) Is there really poop that you can play in? (Spoiler: YES!) Programming at the Boston Public Library is funded through private support.
