Ever wanted to know what a panda does all day long? Or how on earth your heart manages to shift all that blood around your body? Or what makes a rainbow shine? In A Day in the Life of a Poo, a Gnu and You, writer Mike Barfield and illustrator Jess Bradley bring to life the answers to all of these questions and many more.
