I Didn't Poo on That
by Taylor Linden
Accidents happen.
Kids panic.
Pets deny everything.
And suddenly... everyone is staring at the floor.
When a mysterious mess appears out of nowhere, Pip the puppy is quick to speak up.
"I didn't poo on that "
Mittens the cat isn't convinced.
Sam just wants to understand what happened.
What follows is a funny, gentle, and surprisingly reassuring story about big reactions, little mistakes, and what really matters when something goes wrong.
