The book tells the story of a mole who wakes up to discover poop on this head. Furious, the mole sets out to discover who did it. . .

Who pooped on my head?

He approaches various animals--bird, cow, rabbit, horse, pig and asks them if they pooped on his head.

Have you pooped on my head?

To prove their innocence, the animals poop so that the mole will see that their poop looks different! (!!!)

Have you pooped on my head? Me? No, why? I do it like this!

Finally, he comes across a dog and realizes he has found his culprit. To get his revenge, the mole (you guessed it) poops on the dog's head.
