Everybody Pees!

Justine Avery

"The perfect potty training lesson ... a fun read for readers of all ages." —The US Review of Books
~ From the Author of the International Phenomenon EVERYBODY POOPS! ~
Everybody pees—yes, indeed! It’s time to blow the door right off the bathroom, and shine a light on what happens on the loo.
For the little ones just discovering the contents of their diapers and nappies, the bigger ones needing reassurance that the most frequent of their mysterious bodily functions is as natural as can be, and the biggest ones who still hold a fondness for toilet humor, Everybody Pees! is spilling over with bright and brazen illustrations and the truth about who’s doing the peeing: every body is doing it!
Sure to incite giggling fits and all-ages laughter, Everybody Pees! exposes one of the least talked about facts we all have in common the world over and among all walks of life, benefiting the youngest of us by opening the discussion, promoting comfort with their bodies, and helping them feel included. Pee pride!
