---------------

Pirate Pete had a need.  A really urgent need.  He had to Pee!  But there was a problem.  The toilet was out of order!  Oh No!  What is he going to do? 

Told in a very simple rhyme with one line of text per page, this is a humorous read-aloud for young children.  There is quite a bit of repetition making it an easy story for children to follow along and join in.






The computer generated illustrations are really bright.  The ocean in the background (and the puddles on the ship) have text within with all sorts of 'water' noises.  I'm sure you know what it's like when you really have to go, and your friends make 'encouraging' water noises to make you really really really need to go - so helpful!!!

I like this book.  It's simple, colourful and has two topics that young children like - Pirates, Peeing - and a nice easy rhyming text ... who could ask for more :-)   A cute and fun addition to your collection.  

I got my copy of The Pirate who had to Pee from the Taradale Primary School library where I work. 

You can find a copy at Napier Libraries.
