This guide is written for both parents and children to explain the potty training process. Unlike the other picture books we have read in this course, it is an informative text. Instead of a straight-forward story, the book is a prompt for conversation(s) between children and caregivers. There is a lot of text on each page, so parents reading the book aloud to children may want to edit, or perhaps revisit sections of the book at different times.

I would recommend the book to parents who are potty training their children. The combination of bright, colorful child-friendly illustrations and medically-accurate information for parents makes it a helpful resource. Overall, the book sends a positive message about potty training, what it entails, and what children can look forward to as they learn to use toilets. ( )

Obviously, I read this with my sons. It's a bit wordy in spots but they were entranced anyhow. ( )

Very helpful during the potty learning process. ( )
