A laugh-out-loud story with heart, based on true events about one boy’s trip to the loo and learning that everyone has accidents sometimes.
A father is just trying to take his kids for a refreshing swim in the pool, but every time they jump in...
"DAD! I NEED TO POOP!"
By the time they get to the bathroom: "I don't need to go anymore!" Sound familiar?
Back and forth, back and forth they go. "Just poop already!” yells the big sister.
Until finally, the little brother… does. Oops!
Based on true events in the real life of one unfortunate little brother...
A laugh-out-loud story with heart, because when you gotta go, you gotta go!

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This is a story about a young family on a vacation, trying to enjoy the hotel pool. Unfortunately one of them doesn't have a firm grasp on his body's elimination signals yet, and keeps telling his father and sister he needs to poop, when he doesn't. I'm sure you can all see where this is going.
This story was a little bit ridiculous in its descriptions of the other guests staying at this hotel, and they got more and more ridiculous each time the family made the trek up and then back down the stairs between their room and the pool. This provided for some really fun and bright illustrations. And since the book is geared towards young children, the absurdity is perfect.
I would honestly probably have no problem reading this book a few times as it had me giggling a bit, and it's a bit more relatable for kids today than The Girl Who Cried Wolf. Overall I give this book 4.16 out of 5 stars. - Katie
