What a great book!

My Daughter really liked this book and the funniest thing about it was my Husband and I both went up to peek on our Daughter when she was just learning and trying to get the whole potty thing down and there she was sitting there on the potty looking at this book, must of been making sure she was doing it right, she was so into it that she didn't even notice us and we had to leave and starting laughing so hard, was just the cutest thing to see :o) Hope your child loves this book as much as mine did!

wonderful book

My son is 3 1/2 and I had been trying to potty train him for about a year and he was not getting it. I was very stressed out and reading lots of books for parents that were never a help to me when I decided to try this book to read to my son. Within a couple of days he was potty trained and he was very happy and proud to be like Caillou. I will always be grateful to this book and I will forever remember Caillou for helping my son. This is a wonderful book. I highly recommend it.

Caillou, I have a suprise for you!

We have several potty books including the Bear in the Big Blue House one, Flush the Potty, Lift the Lid Use the Potty with stickers, Ruby's Potty and the classic Once Upon a Potty: Girl just to name a few. Although my daughter enjoys all of her potty books this is her all time favorite. She really identifies with Caillou and his potty trials and tribulations. The story starts with Caillou's mommy calling out to him that she has a suprise for him. It's a potty! Caillou doesn't know how to use it at first, he wears it as a hat. After a few accidents he masters the potty and makes his mommy and daddy proud. My daughter makes me read this book to her every day along with the book Caillou Takes a Bath. I swear I have both books memorized word for word. Although I am a little sick of reading them my daughter is less resistant to using the potty and taking a bath becauise of them. If my daughter hesistates to use the potty all I have to say is let's do it like Caillou and that is enough to motivate her. So where are we in terms of toliet training you might ask after all of these books not to mention countless videos, stickers, charts, and how to potty train books for mommy. Well my daughter will be three in August and she has been peeing in the potty for some time now. She will even get up by herself in the middle of the night and use the potty. She still refuses to makie a bowel movement in the potty though. I have to agree with Vicki Levines advice in a Girlfriend Guide to Toddlers. If you need a potty training laugh her passage relating to this topic is a hoot. She claims that your child will be toilet trained when they deem they are ready no matter how much you push and prod them otherwise. Until that happy potty trained day comes you can pass the time with your little one reading good potty books such as Caillou Potty Time.

This book potty trained our daughter

We weren't having any luck potty training until I bought my daughter this book. 2 weeks after, she was fully potty trained, and quoting from the book the whole time. Kudos!!

Cheerful approach to the potty

This sturdy,colorfully illustrated book provides age-appropriate information for the 2-3 year-old child. In comparison to the Sesame Street version and also the Rugrats potty book, this book focuses more on the emotions that your toddler may experience during potty training. Unlike many of these books, Caillou Potty Time is gender neutral. The approach is upbeat, and encouraging. Would reccomend reading this one early in the process.Both my child and I have enjoyed reading the book.
