An Indelicate Condition! Who Wet My Pants? by Bob Shea

COME AND GET 'EM! ALL YOUR FAVORITES!

Scout Leader Bear has do-nuts, especially chosen for each camper in his troop.

But his largess is rewarded by embarrassed looks from the other campers. They all stare, but not at the donuts.

"Ahem!"

Bear follows their glance. Uh-oh!

He vows that no one gets donuts until he gets a confession.

WHAT TH'...! WHO WET MY PANTS!

I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!

There's an awkward silence. Nobody allows himself even a small smirk at the unintended pun.

Timid Tim Turtle finally says that it's likely just an accident. Big Foot admits that he used to wet his pants sometimes. Dog suggests that it could happen to anyone. But Bear demands a confession from the culprit!

ALL I WANT IS JUSTICE... AND DRY PANTS.

But slowly the truth dawns on Bear. Could that gallon of lemonade with breakfast or those moments listening to the waterfall have had something to do with his, er, condition? Maybe his pants just sprung a leak, leading him to blame his friends.... all of which have tried to be understanding.

Bear decides it's time to change both the subject and his pants and pass the donuts, in Bob Shea's Who Wet My Pants? (Little, Brown and Company, 2019), a tinkle tale which will have kids giggling from the beginning, as Bear's denials grow louder as the evidence becomes more compelling. Zachariah OHora's detailed drawings only add to the snickers of this book about an unfortunate incident that is not all that uncommon among youngsters. Adds Booklist, "OHora has illustrated a number of picture books funny enough to make anyone wet their pants."
