From the publisher:
Kids and parents will both love this hilarious and heartfelt picture book about the Boy Who Cried Poo!!!
The sun was shining on our apartment, the water was glistening down below and we were ready for a day full of splashing, swimming and sitting in the best seats by the pool. Down, down, down the steps we went and SPLASH, we were in! Until…
DAD! I NEED A POO!
My little brother needed a poo. But when we got up, up, up the steps to the loo, he changed his mind. Up and down, up and down, up and down we went. I NEED A POO! I don’t need a poo. I NEED A POO! I don’t need a poo. Until enough was enough! We couldn’t miss out on anymore swim time. Until…
DAD! I NEED A POO!
Except this time… he really did need a poo.
A laugh-out-loud story with heart, about one boy’s trip to the loo and learning that everyone has accidents sometimes. While wonderfully funny, this is also a reassuring book for children who’ve had an accident. Because when you gotta go, you gotta go!
