(To the tune of Tinkle, Tinkle, Little Star)

Tinkle, tinkle, little tot

Sitting there upon the pot.

Any second now, you'll see ...

Sprinkle, spash and you'll go pee!

... and to entertain them while they’re sitting and waiting for something to happen

(To the tune of On Top Of Old Smokey)

On top of my potty

I sit and I wait

I know what I’m making...

Is going to be great!

In short, every toddler and every parent is going to want one!

1) This book is magic! Children will sing and giggle as they learn how to use the potty.

3) It contains 17 hilarious songs and rhymes created by Bruce Lansky and his silly friends.

4) The book is charmingly illustrated in 4/color throughout by Catherine Blake.

I bought this CD and songbook for my daughter and we have loved it! I gave it to her about two weeks before we started potty training as way to talk about the process of going potty and just to make it all a little more fun. She loved the songs and the fun words. She listens to the CD often and we both learned the words to most all of the songs. We would pick one to sing while she was sitting on the potty. The tunes of the songs are familiar to little kids and there are cute, easy to learn words. I have loved this CD and have enjoyed watching my daughter get excited about potty training because of it. This is a must have for those kids who love music.

The book is cute and the songs are fun! My daughter was interested, but not initially in connection with potty training. She eventually wanted the CD and book in the bathroom with her and I think it did help make the experience less stressful for all of us.

This really helped in the first stage of training when we really needed the tot to sit still long enough to relax and do her business! She was much to busy to sit on the pot until she started enjoying the songs in this book. We really only used the CD a few times to learn the tunes, after that we just sang together. Overall I am very happy we got this. It's silly and fun and it works!
