“I Have to Go”by Robert Munsch 
Munsch, Robert . I Have To Go. New York: Annick Press, 1987.
Summary: This is a story about a child named Andrew who is going through toilet training. He never wants to go pee when his parents asks him but always has to go minutes later after they leave the house or after they take 30 minutes to bundle him up in his snowsuit, or after he is in bed every single night. With tons of repetition and repetitive language this book will add humor to any classroom or elementary library.
Can be used in Library Curriculum: This book would be great to use in the classroom for a First Grade ELA lesson on teaching Problem and Solution. Students will read this book and determine the major problem and solution based on details/examples from the text. They will then apply a real world problem in their own life they may have experienced, and describe how they were able to solve that problem. Students will be making text-to-self connections through this activity. They will complete a graphic organizer and then share and discuss their own real world examples with other peers.
Extension: Students will use the IPADS to create a class video of their created real life problems and solutions to be apart of a “Work Hard, Get Smart” Growth Mindset video on Perseverance.
