7 year old Toby is an ordinary boy who has a problem using the toilet. He can’t poo in other people’s homes, or in the boys toilets at school or in public toilets, so he tries to keep his poo inside himself instead. He also does this at home when he doesn’t want to stop playing and refuses to listen to his body. Because he tries to avoid going to the toilet, Toby often poos his pants, which he finds really embarrassing. He also wets himself sometimes when his poo pushes on his bladder. At school he wears pull-ups and his Mum has to come in to change him when he soils himself in the classroom. And he nearly always needs changing on days out, which makes him feel like he is a toddler.Can his Mum and Dad, his big sister, his best friend and his new babysitter persuade Toby to use the toilet every time he needs to poo? Can he find the courage to poo in the school toilets? Or will he always have accidents in his pants and be known by his classmates as the Stinky Kid?This story has been specially written for boys aged 5 to 8 years who withhold their poo and soil their underwear. The author had soiling problems as a child and often messed his pants until he was 11.For more information please go to www.bigredsock.comAlso available: Help!
