Children will love following along and lifting the flaps to see the child play, sit on thepotty, eat, sit on the potty, sleep, and then sit on the potty...until finally there is success.
Written from a child's point of view, this new potty-training book will help children join in the final refrain, "I'm so proud of me!"

Engaging potty book!:
My two-year-old daughter loves this book! The illustrations are great for learning. I've noticed that she will identify pee-pee on diapers in the book and then later she can see the pee-pee in the potty chair. When the child in the book finally pees in the potty and raises her hands above her head in excitement, my daughter raises her arms and cheers too. This has been the best potty book in our house.
Not so great...:
My almost-two year old son absolutely loves this book. He loves the illustrations, the flaps, etc. He has also already shown interest in going to the bathroom on the toilet and has gone "#1" and #2" quite a few times - although we are not actively potty training him or trying to get him out of his diapers (he's a bit early for that).

just okay:
This book was just OK for me. I didn't really like the way the story evolved..and I think the video and other sources I found will be better than this particular book. Just my honest opinion.
Emphasizes Attempts to Use Potty:
Our daughter likes to do things right or not do them at all (for example, she didn't walk until 18 months). What we needed were books that encouraged the attempts to do something, and framing how to feel about failure. I liked the way the kid in this book tries and tries, fails, doesn't want to, has an accident, but then finally makes it! My favorite page is the last one, where the kid is "so proud of me!" I liked the way one of the other reviewers changes the language a little to make it fit her family... more info
