Reviews
"Thankfully, most stuff rots. This colorfully illustrated effort is aimed at a grade school audience that's sure to be appreciative of an oft-stinky subject."--Kirkus "Rot in all its forms is on delightfully disgusting display in this introduction to decomposition."--School Library Journal "Even readers who don't buy the claim that "decomposition can seem . . . almost magical" will come away appreciating how artfully nature moves in cycles."--Booklist "Librarians who are "decomposing" their science collections in the interest of promoting fresh growth will want to take a look at this title."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Synopsis
From sharks and vultures feasting on animal carcasses to worms, maggots, and dung beetles devouring decaying plants, decomposition is happening everywhere. In oceans, forests, your own backyard-even between your teeth-rotting may seem like the last stop in the food chain, but really it's just the beginning. If nothing ever rotted, nothing could live. So unplug your nose and turn the pages to uncover the dirty, rotten truth about one of nature's most fascinating processes! Book jacket., A funny and fact-filled look at decomposition in all of its slimy glory, illustrated with dazzling full-color art by Gilbert Ford. Vultures, fungi, dung beetles, and more aid in this fascinating and sometimes smelly aspect of the life cycle that's right under our noses. What's that terrible smell It's the revolting scent of rot. But being rotten isn't necessarily bad. If nothing ever rotted, nothing new could live. Decomposition may seem like the last stop on the food chain, but it's just the beginning. When dead plants and animals decay, they give life to a host of other creatures, and each one helps ecosystems thrive. Decomposition happens in the forest, the ocean--even in your stomach and between your teeth! From vultures and sharks to bacteria, maggots, mushrooms, and more, discover the dirty rotten truth about one of nature's most fascinating processes., A funny and fact-filled look at decomposition in all of its slimy glory, illustrated with dazzling full-color art by Gilbert Ford.
