Product Description
Andrew's father died when he was a baby, his mother is away all day at work, and now his beloved grandfather must go to the hospital. Upset and worried, Andrew begins to soil. With a visit to the pediatrician and to a therapist, Andrew gets the treatments he needs to feel better and start using the toilet again. This book contains a Note to Parents by psychologist Virginia Shiller, PhD, on the topic of soiling (encopresis), its causes, and its treatment.

 My Son Got Instant Results From This Book August 21, 2001
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I read the story to my 4 1/2 year old son, after months of fruitless efforts to help him. He immediately identified with the boy in the story. I took him into the bathroom, intending to start with the first step suggested, however, my son proceeded through all the steps right then and there, and has not had an accident since! I couldn't believe it! I recommend this book to anyone with a child who has this problem.

My son really enjoyed this book. It helped him see that he was not alone. It also seems to have helped with the soiling.

We were sent this book by our pediatrician and it was very helpful to our 8-year-old. The reading level was easier than she is used to but she was able to identify with Andrew. The book normalized her issues (hiding panties, accidents at school) since she feels like she's the only one, no matter how much we tell her she isn't. There's a book about it!
A story for kids who soil August 7, 2009

I purchased this book for my six year old son who for the past few years has had serious stomach problems. After his doctor constantly reassured me that he was "perfectly" healthy I decided to get another doctor. We now have a correct diagnosis of endocresis and I bought this book to help him face first grade this coming Sept. It is a really touching story and shows that other kids go through the same thing. Highly recommended.

We ourselves have a copy of this book and if your child is in the early stages of Encopresis, treatment wise, then this does go some way to relieving the fears they have. Being a parent of Encopretic children I did find uses for the book, as an aid towards opening the childs mind as to what goes on and found it a great tool to open discussion with your child about the problem. What a shame that there is not more people willing to put it in print as to what the fears are of the childs parents or guardians.The only addition to this book is to see a book written by and on behalf of the the parents of sufferers. We need support and guidance as well!
