Who Wet My Pants?

Description

In this hilarious tale of blame, compassion, and forgiveness, a very embarrassed bear is reminded that accidents can happen--but with the support of good friends, life goes on. Reuben the bear's got donuts for everyone in his scout troop but his friends are all staring at something else: there's a wet spot on Reuben's pants and it's in a specific area. "WHO WET MY PANTS?" he shouts, and a blame game starts. His buddies try to reassure him there was no crime. Just an accident. It could happen to anyone! But as all the clues begin to point in Reuben's own direction as the culprit, Reuben must come to terms with the truth. Who Wet My Pants? isn't a potty-training book. It's a witty and wise story about embarrassment and anger, empathy and acceptance and ultimately...forgiveness.

* "A comedy that is both laugh-out-loud off-kilter and deeply humane."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "A quick study in how saving face can be a team effort." --Booklist, starred review * "Kindness is revealed to be the best answer to embarrassment and anger in this funny take on peeing your pants." --Kirkus, starred review "The images are irresistible--brightly colored and rich with little details that kids will delight in finding. It's doing a double duty for kids who are encountering potty training embarrassment--they're getting the message that pants-wetting is normal, and empathy is the best policy."--NPR's Book Concierge
