My son absolutely loved this book. We made it a rule that he could only read the book on the potty, and suddenly, he wanted to read it, over and over and over again. The book is fun, the prose is simple, and it made my 3 yr old laugh and laugh. It was clever and made its point well. The book is a board book, and durable, but it is also a lift-the-flap book, so it requires supervision so the child doesn't pull the flaps off. That said, ours lasted over 2 years and served us well.

I reccomend it.

Was very surprised this was a lift the flap book as there was no indication of that in the title or descriptions / reviews. I am debating returning it. Pictures are very cute but really repeats the same thing page after page. Does an elephant use the potty? No, A bear, No etc. Flaps are separate pages attatched by 1/8 inch seam which my 2 year old could easily rip off if I don't add more tape. Maybe that is why they list it as for 4yr olds... but most of them would not need this book. See The Potty Book for Boys (maybe there is one for girls) by Alyssa Satin Capucilli for a more diverse book. It also has quite durable pages!

If you can find a copy of this book...and are (or will be) potty training...buy it. My almost two year old son really likes it and thinks it is funny when all of the animals try to sit on the potty...in my son's words...no no no they 'qcrush'the potty. This should be reprinted!

This is a great book that is no longer in print. I would like to see this book back in print so that I could give it as a gift to all the potty training toddlers I know. Sadly the copy that I received had been a library copy and had one of the flaps missing. We loved the book anyway.

Our son loved this book. Cute illustrations and he loved the flaps to turn. Someone else said they were flimsy, but we had no problems and he was under 3.

He's really into animals and it was great to find a potty book with animal illustrations.

Max's Potty is a playful and very entertaining book about potty training. My toddler daughter really enjoyed this book and asked for it "again, again". I think a more appropriate age for this book is 2 to 3 years old rather than 4 to 8 years old as is listed.
