Prudence--the round-cheeked, pony-tailed heroine of Alona Frankel's book of the same name--can provide further inspiration to young daughters with her video adventure. As with her print counterpart, the animated Prudence wonders if her grandmother's gift could be a birdbath or a flowerpot before she settles down to the business at hand. Unlike the book, Prudence gets a grand introduction in the form of a music video of "The Potty Song," complete with toddlers frolicking among portable potties. A lyric sheet is included and moms will appreciate the equality mindedness of songwriter Art Frankel ("Wee-wee goes there / Poo-poo goes there / Then Daddy wipes behind me and that is that!"). The second half of this 24-minute video is a "Parent's Guide," in which a prominent pediatrician goes over the basics: signs of readiness, terms, methods, and expected ages (for example, girls usually train before boys, but don't force it). --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars So good that I am buying it again!, April 17, 1999

By A Customer

This is an excellent video for kids. It allows you to start potty training education early by holding the attention of younger toddlers, as well as being entertaining to older children. My son loved it, and now I am buying it again for my daughter. A must have. It starts with a cartoon child getting the potty as a present. Then it shows that the child trys to use it many ways, until they learn through a series of accidents and successes how to use the potty.They make sure to stress that accidents will happen, and this is ok. Then the video changes to a catchy tune showing real children dancing to the music and sitting on their potties. It is amazing how quickly they start singing with the video while sitting on their own potty for more than 5 minutes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Money well spent, time well saved, progress well made., May 12, 1999

By A Customer

The video(s) is/are an animated version of the book(s) by the same title. The animation pleasingly embellishes the book version--takes things one step further in terms of humor and the expressions and actions of the characters. The video also contains catchy songs, scenes with actual toddlers and clever artsy backgrounds, which totally capture my 27 mo. old's attention. She loves this video with a passion and is advanced as a result. So are wee wee.
