A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2013 Author Biography David Macaulay received his bachelor of architecture degree from Rhode Island School of Design. In January 1973, Macaulay went to France to work on the first of his twenty-five books, Cathedral. He then constructed a colonial Roman town (City, 1974), erected monuments to the Pharaohs (Pyramid, 1975), dissected the maze of subterranean systems below and essential to every major city (Underground, 1976), built a medieval fortress (Castle, 1977), and dismantled the Empire State Building (Unbuilding, 1980). Macaulay is perhaps best known for The Way Things Work (1988). It was followed by Black and White (1990) for which he won the 1991 Caldecott Medal. A revised edition of The Way Things Work was published in 1998 followed by Building Big, Mosque, and most recently, The Way We Work (2008). Review "In his signature squiggly style, Macaulay pulls back the curtain to show just how it all goes down(so to speak)." --Booklist "A perfect blend of humor and clarity - in text and in artwork - explains the anatomy of human waste, the mechanics of a flush toilet and the subsequent treatment of waste in septic and sewer systems." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A unique nonfiction offering that deals with human waste in a way that most other books have not. . .A boon to those looking to beef up informational offerings to meet Common Core standards." --School Library Journal, starred review "Macaulay reminds readers that while such language is precise, it can also be lively." --The Horn Book Review Quote Toilet : Details ISBN1626722153 Author Sheila Keenan Short Title TOILET HOW IT WORKS Pages 32 Audience Age 6-9 Publisher Square Fish Language English ISBN-10 1626722153 ISBN-13 9781626722156 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 644.600 Residence RI, US Series How It Works Year 2015 Publication Date 2015-04-14 Imprint Square Fish UK Release Date 2015-04-14 Audience Children / Juvenile Illustrations Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
