Dirty board book

I wiped this book with Clorox wipe and put it in the sun

My daughter loved it...

...so now we have it memorized!! Yes, this book is very simple. It does not attempt to over-analyze or explain why you should go potty or talk about stuff that a 2 year old doesn't understand or care about anyway. It is a bunch of different girls exploring the potty. My daughter would sit on the potty and "read" it to herself over and over. She would giggle when the little girl put "potties on her feet" and say "noooo..." The important part for her was that there was no pressure filled words about why you should use it, and it was filled with pictures of girls that she could relate to. We had a hard time potty training her until we found this book. My daughter was stubborn and just didn't want to take the time to go potty. She would have accident after accident and didn't care if she made a mess, as long as she didn't have to stop what she was doing right then. Once we found this book, potty time became enjoyable to her and she stopped having accidents.

This is a GREAT BOOK!

This has got to be the best book I've bought for my daughter! I bought this book when she was 6 months old, and it has been her favorite book. After reading this book to her hundreds of times, she was able at 11 months say "Potty" and have the concept of what & where her's was. We bought a POTTY to match the one in the book. And at 13 months she is very close to being potty trained. What I love the most is the photo's in this book, They are actually little girls of all kinds using all kinds of POTTIES! This is also why my little girl loves this book, because what child don't enjoy looking at other children!

Adorable!

This book is great for all those little girls out there who are just starting to potty train. I have 2 year old twin girls and they love this book! They are just starting to get serious about the potty and this book was just the thing to help them figure it out. The pictures of real little girls using various brands of pottys really helped and made it a bit more real for them I think.

A simple book

My daughter is 2.5 years and still struggling with potty training. This book is very simple for her to understand and she can see the pictures of the girls with their potty on their head or feet - something she has done with hers - and the story tells us that this isn't what pottys are for. There are lots of different types of pottys in the photographs of this book so you might be able to spot the one you are using at home ... we did and we found that very helpful. The fact that they use photographs and not illustrations is also helpful so my daughter can actually see a nappy (diaper) and then the girl move on to "big girls pants". After reading this book to my daughter every night for the past month I'm finding that it is helping us move closer to a positive result with potty training. Helping her with the right words and what the end result will be - big girl pants!

Bright, colorful, and fascinating!!

My 18 month old loves this book! The photos are bright and colorful and clear. I looked through about six or seven books before settling on this one, and this was the clear winner. The text is simple and appropriate for young children (unlike several other books I looked at) and the beautiful photography and layout captures my daughter's attention. The book has photos of happy girls of various ethnicities wearing diapers, exploring potty chairs, sitting on potty chairs, unrolling toilet paper, drying their hands after washing, and finally wearing big girl panties. The board book format is sturdy and the book has a cute shape. The only drawback to this book that I can see is that it has pictures of several girls exploring the potty chairs by putting them on their heads and standing in them, and there is probably a possibility that a suggestible child might try this out, so watch out. Overall a beautiful, lively, and cheerful book - a clear winner over all the other potty books I looked at! Highly recommended!
