Kommunikasjon er gull, supergodt eksempel!

This is a very simple, straightforward story that we can all relate to. The surprise ending is fun. There may be some giggles at the page when he is on the toilet- but don't let it stop you! Could talk about his need for independence vs his fear of being locked in.
