My little girl loved this story from the first time, pointing at the pictures of funny Grandpoppa and his adventures with turning poo into compost. She laughed out loud, and asked for the story again, again! As a parent, I found this enjoyable to read to her … again and again’ (The Bay Chronicle).

Grandpoppa Poptop’s vegetables won’t grow well, no matter how much work he does. When the horse in the next paddock leaves him a present, he discovers how to make compost. He embarks on an amusing venture of discovery and collection on various parts of the farm and is eventually able to grow large, luscious plants.
