A humorous look at one of parenting's biggest challenges, a moment of privacy behind the bathroom door.
Anyone who has ever raised children knows when you gotta go, you might as well be as charged as a magnet. No sooner are you set, ready for relief when Lo! Upon the door knocks your offspring, bleating for Ewe.
Hirschman, Cole & Bright have brought together a durable, washable & eminently usable little book for those special times when every parent has ever wanted & expected some solitude.
Yes, “I'm In The Bathroom!” is a book about & for the poet's corner in your home, written in simple verses,
avoiding any curses,
with illustrations Bright & lively,
of a boy & a girl & a doggie
outside the bathroom door
at which they implore,
knock, nap & whine,
to pass away the time
without you.
It's not that we don't love you, it's not that we want to hide from you, it's not that we want you to go away--it's just that we've gotta go potty!
“I'm In The Bathroom!” even has a page to inscribe who it belongs to!
Funny & everso true, I treasure this one because books about bathroom life are as rare as five minutes alone with your thoughts!
