From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- Two bears, one large and one small, tackle toilet training. Little Bartholomew is a contrary toddler who answers "Nah" to everything, including the question,"Do you need your potty?" When big George uses his big voice to say "On your potty!" Bartholomew tries to no avail. Sent out to play, he suddenly realizes it's time. He races in--success! A big hug from George is his reward. Simple text makes the story appropriate for very young children; the bare-bones approach will probably require some additional explanation. The illustrations steal the show; charcoal-and-watercolor drawings are endearing without being saccharine. Bartholomew is the most appealing little bear outside fabric-softener ads. Facial expressions convey volumes; the sequence showing him on his potty is particularly true to life. This is a brief, low-key approach to the subject; for a more thorough treatment, try Joanna Cole's Your New Potty (Morrow, 1989.) --Lucy Young Clem, Evansville Vanderburgh County Public Library, IN

Warmhearted Introduction to the Potty,
By
This review is from: On Your Potty! (George and Bartholomew) (Board book)
In the highly populated potty book market, this book captures but one aspect: trying to get to the potty in time. Author illustrator Virginia Miller offers spare text in large easy-to-read print and drawings in pencil and colored marker featuring a lovable bear named Bartholomew (Ba for short). When his papa George asks, Do you need your potty, Ba? his son responds Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, NAH! My girls thought this hysterical and began repeating it (almost to the point of tedium). Read this book for entertainment only. To introduce the functional aspects of the toilet training process, such as what actually goes in the potty, wiping, flushing, and washing up, try these more instructional potty books: The Potty Book for Girls by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, You Can Go to the Potty by Dr. Sears or What To Expect When You Use the Potty by Heidi Murkoff.

On your Potty!,
By A Customer
This review is from: On Your Potty! (George and Bartholomew) (Paperback)
Kindly dad George invites Bartholomew bear to sit on his potty, but Ba, in true toddler fashion, refuses. Later, though, when he's playing, the urge overtakes him and he runs to the potty in the nick of time... and, of course George congratulates him with a big bear hug. Virginia Miller's illustrations have a beutifully sure touch and the bears' facial expressions are very evocative of the powerful emotions surrounding this sometimes tricky time. "This had lovely pictures but the message didn't get across strongly enough to encourage Florence to sit on her own potty"
