What Makes It A Favourite?
The “Did you wet my pants?” line always gathers a giggle or two. There is a lovely little story arc of a well intended bear coming to terms with the reason his pants are wet.
Dad’s Take
I really like this book. Sure, the bear’s humorously aggressive questioning of his friends as to who wet is pants isn’t a good model for one’s behavior… But the characters are all likable, and as the bear recalls his journey to damp pants, it is just good fun. We’ve read this periodically and never seem to get sick of it.
The Kids’ Take
Both kids provided far too many spoilers in their reflections of Who Wet My Pants? They did both reflect on the misguided allegations of the bear, and shook their head at his er, lack of insight.
