''The World of Poo'' (in full ''TerryPratchett presents Miss Felicity Beedle's The World of Poo'') is a sort of follow-up to ''Discworld/WheresMyCow'', a children's book-slash-Discworld artifact based on a book that Sam Vimes reads to his son. Young Sam being older, the book is aimed at kids rather than toddlers. (In ''Discworld/{{Snuff}}'', Vimes reflects that Miss Beedle knows exactly what will make a six-year-old boy laugh until he's sick.) Unlike ''Where's My Cow?'', which is a story ''about'' the story, ''World of Poo'' is told "straight", just the way Young Sam would read it.

It tells the story of a young boy named Geoffrey, who travels to Ankh-Morpork from a small town in the Sto Plains, and quickly becomes fascinated by the wide range of poo that exists in the city, beginning a poo collection.
