5.0 out of 5 stars It's Silly! It's Fun! It's A Great Book!, September 18, 2003

This review is from: What Do You Do With A Potty? An Important Pop-up Book (Board book)

This was our first potty book - a gift from Grandma. If you've spent any potty training time you know you've got to have patience while you wait...and wait...and wait. This book helped to pass the time. My daughter loved to lift the flaps and pull the tabs. Eventually she began to "read" it for herself. After two kids this book has seen better days (and lots of scotch tape). But hopefully it will make it through our third child!

We have read almost every potty book available on the market as of 9/2003 (over two dozen!). Most fit into two categories: INSTRUCTIONAL books that introduce the skills needed to master the potty; and those that are primarily ENTERTAINING, for children who understand what is supposed to happen on the potty, but need extra time to make it happen.

I think What Do You Do With A Potty fits more in the INSTRUCTIONAL category for the following reasons:

1) It identifies the purpose of the potty.
2) It specifies bodily functions ("poopy" and "tinkle" in this case)
3) Shows the transition from diapers to big kid underwear.
4) Includes the important steps such wiping, flushing, and hand washing.

For other activity books on this same subject, try Let's Go Potty by Moira Butterfield or Sara's Potty by Harriet Ziefert.

So what can you do with this book? Enjoy it again and again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great interactive book...but easily destroyed by 2 yr. old!, January 3, 1999

My daughter loved this book! The movable parts even made her demand her potty so that she could try the same movements as the book's character! In the first hour, though, she tore one of the tabs. Still, a fun and engaging book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the Potty trainer, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: What Do You Do With A Potty? An Important Pop-up Book (Board book)

My daughter loves this book. I bought it when we decided it was time to potty train. Prior to the book, my daughter just didn't understand what the potty was for, when she read the book and played with the pop-up features, she FINALLY understood. It took about a week after buying the book before she was fully trained (with a few accidents of course).
