Owen is going to see Grampa for a day at the park. His mom asked him if he had to pee before they left, but he has to go now! Owen makes it to Grampa's bathroom just in time. At the park Grampa teaches Owen some silly dances that help him when he has to pee.

This book was not for me, but kids who love potty-talk will enjoy it. The illustrations are mostly black, white, and shades of yellow. The text is speech bubbles, which I normally enjoy, but some of the pages were hard to follow the order of the panels. The main characters are white; background characters are multi-racial.
