Potty Time is Right On Time!

Featuring simple patterned text and familiar animals, Potty Time is right on time! Guido Van Genechten's illustrations, painted on old Belgian (?) newspaper, are bold, eye-catching...and silly! How can you not laugh at Nellie Elephant's "great big bottom" squatting on Joe's little pot? Or Missy Mouse's "teeny weeny bottom" perilously perched on the edge? With this book you can introduce the potty concept while sliding in a lesson on contrasting shapes and sizes for good measure. Throw in some extra "oinks", "woofs", "clucks", and "ribbits" and your child will love it even more.We have read almost every potty book available on the market as of 9/2003 (over two dozen!). Most fit into two categories: INSTRUCTIONAL books that introduce the skills needed to master the potty; and those that are primarily ENTERTAINING, for children who understand what is supposed to happen on the potty, but need extra time to make it happen.I think Potty Time! fits more in the ENTERTAINING category. Two other delightful potty books featuring animals include Potty! by Mylo Freeman and Sara's (or Max's) Potty by Harriet Ziefert.

PERFECT POTTY TIME

A big hit in our house. We were given this as a gift because toilet training is the big subject right now. This isn't an explanation of how to potty train. Instead it's a very funny story showing a bunch of different animals finding exactly the right potty to sit on. Our daughter knows it well enough to read to herself at potty time. It's made this experience much better.

FUNNY AND HELPFUL

We're at the potty stage and got this along with a couple of other books. It's a very funny book about a bunch of different animals trying to find the right potty. My son just laughs and laughs and then has to go sit on his potty. Just what we needed.
