5.0 out of 5 stars the best of the lot for potty-training books, December 22, 2006

This review is from: Sesame Beginnings: Potty Time! (Sesame Street) (Board book)

This book is an excellent potty-training book for little ones to read. It is a board book, which helps, but it also presents a variety of characters who are all at different stages of being ready to use the potty on their own. This gives your child the opportunity to decide how do they feel about their own situation -- are they ready to try or not? The one who isn't ready in the book is also "OK" -- there is no judgement against not being ready. But it is a big celebration for the one who just did it for the first time. Very positive and not pushing.

I found this book to be more appealing to my child than either "Too Big for Diapers" or "The Potty Book for Boys", which we also have for him to read while trying... Both those books are a little more instructive or pushy than this book is.

My 2 year old daughter loved this book. We used it on her Potty Party day, and she still loves to read it. It has been really helpful in getting her to try to go to the bathroom before we leave to go somewhere. In the book Zoe always goes before she leaves! I would recommend this book to others!

2.0 out of 5 stars I was disappointed, September 6, 2007

This review is from: Sesame Beginnings: Potty Time! (Sesame Street) (Board book)

I guess based on the other reviews and the price, I expected more. This book seems really short to me. It covers the potty habits of 4 of Grover's Sesame Street friends (some of them like to potty - some aren't ready to potty and that's ok - etc.). It just seemed a little brief to me and didn't have much meat to it. My 2 year old son thought it was ok - but he isn't excited about it the way some of the other reviewers' children seemed to be. And I expected more from the flush the potty feature on the last page. It is a paper lever that is really easy to pull off if you have a child who is less than delicate with books (a board book with a flimsy paper pull tab seems contradictory to me...give me something a little sturdier...). I think the book is over priced for what you get (and if you buy it used, make sure the paper flush handle is intact before you buy - because that's really the only feature that makes this book stand out and it probably won't last multiple children).
