What I have to say is complex, yet simple. I was a bedwetter who had tried everything, my parents tried the best they could to help. I wet the bed until I was sixteen years old. I was unable to do sleepovers like other children. At sixteen and deeply emotionally scarred I stopped wetting and was still hurting from the years of embarrasment. At the age of 20 I was volunteering in a library and shelved this book. I read it at that time and I was somehow healed of my wounds. I have searched for it since in every book store and now I have found it, thank God for Amazon.com. I cannot wait for the oppurtunity to share this treasure with my children.

I bought this book for my 3-1/2 year old daughter who, despite daytime potty training success, has not yet been able to stay dry all night consistently. Although we have always been comforting and encouraging, she is beginning to express frustration and disappointment in herself for not being able to stay dry through the night. This book was exactly what we needed.

The story is about Little Bunny (LB, for short), who really wants to stay dry all night but keeps waking up wet, confused, and sad. His parents are very supportive, telling him that when his body is ready, he will stay dry. By the end of the book, he does just that.

It's an adorable story, and a very sensitive treatment of the subject. My daughter was enthralled, and she smiled with delight when LB succeeded in staying dry all night.

I was really touched by the sensitivity with which LB's parents handled the situation, especially when they said LB didn't need to go back to wearing diapers since, "We don't mind washing your sheets in the morning if you don't mind changing your pajamas in the middle of the night." There was a lesson in that for me as well. After several months of doing extra laundry, I bought a package of training pants for my daughter. She was really disappointed, since she had long since graduated to big-girl underpants, but she reluctantly agreed to wear them. After reading the book to her tonight, I decided to back off on that and keep trying.

I know I'm not alone in feeling helpless when my child is unable to keep herself dry at night. This book offers a simple, sensitive way to reassure your child (and yourself) that this, too, shall pass.

I bought this book for my 4 year old, thinking it would help us to train him to stay dry at night. In actuality, it is for children dealing with the stigma of bedwetting. The book emphasizes how it is OK to wet the bed and OK for Mom to constantly change the sheets and wash the PJs. It was not what I expected...I think it would be good for a child who is having serious psychological damage due to bedwetting, but not for a 4 or 5 year old.

this book is a great example of a real live experience. alot of kids felt the same as LB, that he/she feels like a baby wearing a diper to bed. so they try and try and try not to wet the bed and after well you get the picture. this book is great for kids that have that problem.
