A parent would reach for this book when their toddler has mastered the potty but still relies on an adult for the final, messy cleanup. This story addresses the transition from 'partially potty trained' to 'fully independent' by focusing on the specific, often overlooked skill of wiping. It is perfect for families hitting a plateau in their toilet training journey who need a lighthearted way to discuss hygiene and personal responsibility. Zeke's journey uses imaginative play to turn a daunting bathroom chore into a heroic feat of big-kid independence. While the book is humorous and whimsical, it carries a strong message of self-reliance and the pride that comes with 'doing it by myself.' Suitable for children ages 2 to 5, it serves as both a practical guide and a cheerleader for boys and their caregivers during one of childhood's most significant developmental milestones.
