About This Book

Crunch! The crisp morning leaves crackle under tiny paws and hooves as a strange new smell fills the forest air. A bright blue outhouse stands where the trees once swayed freely, catching every animal's curious eye. Can Dr. Grunter, Billy, Harriet, and the others really use this odd new potty, or will their forest friends be in for a messy surprise?
