'''''Time to...''''' is a very short series of books by Creator/MoWillems (who also wrote the ''Literature/PigeonSeries'' and the ''Literature/ElephantAndPiggieSeries''), consisting of only two books: "Time to Pee!" and "Time to Say 'Please!'".

Each book focuses on a whole crowd of children learning to do some basic preschool skills (in "Time to Pee!", it was going No. 1 in the bathroom, whereas in "Time to Say 'Please'!", it was polite words such as 'please' and 'thank you'), and the way they learnt it was because a bunch of mice held up signs with the instructions.
