The answer to the age-old question, according to this funny story, is yes, but only after a lot of time spent trying to find a suitably secluded place. Barry, our bear hero, is shy you see, and likes a bit of privacy. The other animals are far more relaxed, take the woodpeckers for example, who’ll do it anywhere and even in mid-air. As Barry gets more and more uncomfortable his friend Brenda tells him about a quiet, lonely cabin, just the place. There’s one last, very funny joke before we close the book on a relaxed, happy Barry pulling the chain on the cabin’s loo! Silly, lots of fun to read aloud and guaranteed to have children snorting with laughter.
Surely there's somewhere a bear can go away from prying eyes? When a shy bear feels the urge to go, there's only one thing on his mind: finding a private place where he can poo in peace. But a whole host of woodland animals - who have no qualms about pooing wherever they please - just won't leave him alone.
