Relation During Books I Have to Go!

Although Andrew's parents both ask him if he needs to pee before they set out on a trip to his grandparents' home, the little boy waits until they have embarked to declare that he needs to go. Unable to wait for the nearest gas station, he must relieve himself behind a tree. Similarly, although both parents and grandparents ask if he needs to go, before zipping him into his snowsuit, he waits until he is outside in the snow to declare his need. What will happen when he goes to bed...?

An amusing look at an all-too-common childhood experience - namely, refusing to go to the bathroom when opportunity presents itself, and then having a need, when that opportunity has passed - I Have To Go! is one of many picture-books from Canadian author/illustrator team Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko. I appreciated the fact that wetting the bed is treated in a non-sentimental, matter-of-fact way here, one that strips it of any stigma or shame. The artwork is quite humorous - I think my favorite scene is the one in which Andrew relieves himself behind a tree, while his father stands in the foreground. Recommended to anyone looking for humorous children's stories about "going before you go" (one of my own mother's maxims) and/or wetting the bed.

As an older adult, you get to really understand this one.

This one was just okay for me. The premise of the exasperating kid who doesn't have to go until he really has to go is probably relatable for many parents. However, I wasn't quite sure what the resolution was supposed to be; it seemed abrupt and didn't make a lot of sense. If a kid is stubborn enough to pee in his own bed, it's going to take more than some inexplicable change of heart to give his parents some relief.The pictures are cute, as they usually are with Martchenko's work. But the

Potty training!

My 3 year old son says it was funny but the narrator was scary

Every parent has been met with this situation...ask a child if he has to go potty and he says no. Get him in the car, and he has to go. Get him to bed, and he has to go.I couldn't escape the feeling that if I read this to a child, it would only give him ideas on how to mess with a parent. Anyway...still cute.

This happens, all the time.It seems like one of those things where you don't have to use the bathroom when they ask you, but then it's implanted into your brain and then all of a sudden you need to use the bathroom. At the worst times too.Can relate.

I'm babysitting my nieces tonight and it is the littlest one's turn to choose the book and she chosen this one a rather hilarious book. I Have to Go! is a children's picture book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko, which is a story of a boy in the throes in toilet training.Munsch's text is simplistic and hilarious a tad repetitive, but I think it's just Munsch's style of writing. It is a rather simple yet somewhat relatable story about a family visiting their
