->''It's not the crime... it's the cover-up''
''Who Wet My Pants?'' is a children's book by Bob Shea (the author of ''Literature/DinosaurVS''.) It concerns an anthropomorphic bear named Ruben who, on a camping trip with a group of friends, wets his pants without noticing.
Rather than realise that he was the one who wet them, he believes one of his friends did it and tries to determine which one it was, while they try to convince him that it was him, but at the same time reassure him that they're not holding him responsible.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal:
** The tortoise wears only a hat, a bandanna, shoes, and glasses.
** The squirrel wears only a hat and bandanna.
* {{Ahem}}: One of Reuben's friends clears their throat when they notice he wet his pants.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: One of Reuben's friends is a pink hippo.
* AmbiguousGender: We know that there are six males (Reuben, Jared, Oskar, Tim, Teddy, and Bigfoot), two females (Julia and Linzie) and one unknown (Kelly, which is a unisex name) but (with the exception of Ruben, Tim, and Bigfoot), we don't know who is who, so it's hard to tell which are boys and which are girls. We at least know the tortoise is male, since Reuben calls him "''Mr.'' All-the-Answers" and the hippopotamus and hedgehog are female, since they wear dresses.
* AnthropomorphicFood: The donut shop has illustrations of living donuts.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Reuben, Bigfoot, the dog, and the hippo all wear scout outfits without shoes.
* BearyFunny: Reuben is a bear, and his pants-wetting and subsequent obliviousness and accusations are PlayedForLaughs.
* BizarreTasteInFood: Tim and Teddy like maple-bacon flavoured donuts. Reuben lampshades this by describing this flavour as "gross".
* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: When no one admits to wetting Reuben's pants (because they were all innocent), he says, "No one gets donuts until I get answers!".
* TheDitz: Reuben doesn't notice when he wets his pants and when it's pointed out to him, he thinks first that someone else did it and then that they sprang a leak.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Tim and the hedgehog both wear full scout uniforms.
* FunnyAnimal: The main characters are animals but behave like humans.
* FurryReminder: When Reuben confronts the tortoise, he hides in his shell.
* GiganticGulp: In the morning, Reuben drank an entire jug of lemonade while helping at the stand.
* InterspeciesFriendship: The main characters are a bear, hedgehog, lion, hippo, cryptid, raccoon, dog, squirrel, and tortoise, and they're all friends on a camping trip together.
* MistakesAreNotTheEndOfTheWorld: The dog reassures Reuben that "it could happen to anyone" regarding his wet pants.
* NoNameGiven: Zigzagged. Everyone's names are said, but we don't know who has which name, aside from Ruben (the bear), Tim (the lion), and Bigfoot.
* PottyFailure:
** The premise of the book is that Reuben wet his pants without realising and is trying to find out who did it.
** Bigfoot claims he used to wet his pants all the time.
* QuestioningTitle: The book's title ends in a question mark.
* UnsoundEffect: When Reuben squeezes the donut box, the word "Squish" can be seen.
* WarmWaterWhiz: The reason Reuben wet his pants is because he fell asleep with his paw in his tropical fish's tank.
