5.0 out of 5 stars My 2-year old daughter's favorite - best potty book we have June 19, 2011

By Ted W

Format:Hardcover

This book is fantastic; I highly recommend it. My 2-year old (25 months) daughter isn't particularly into princesses, but the book is very well written and it became her favorite instantly. We bought several books to read her on the potty while we potty-train her and she demands this one be read first and repeatedly. I like reading it to her too.

It hits all the right notes: it talks about becoming a big girl and starting to use the potty and underwear, it goes through the process of what to do, including hand washing, it gently addresses the issues that arise (nothing happening and accidents), and in the process it tells a fun story that ends with the girl's happy success in mastering the potty. Most of the books we've seen are either very basic, with few words, or extremely wordy for a 2-year old. This book is just right, having a good amount of words while staying interesting the whole way through. The pictures are great too.

5.0 out of 5 stars great potty book! December 3, 2011

By Mel Mel

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a really great potty book for little girls who like princesses! Its cute and I felt like it really described where we were at (she's 3) with her not liking her wet diapers and thinking about how everyone else wears underwear. Within 2 days of getting this (along with another princess potty book and princess potty) she was all trained - but that was just great timing! The books and the new potty were just that kick she needed to get interested in the potty again (it had been MONTHS!)!

My daughter loves this book, right after we got this, she started peeing on the potty and though she has been potty trained over a year, she still reads the book.
