Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The funniest and most motivating toilet-training book ever! It contains 17 funny songs and rhymes parents can use to coax kids into the bathroom:

 

(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.

2) The songs and rhymes are based on expert advice about how to toilet-train children and how to use toddler-friendly language. They cover a wide range of important behaviors such as: recognizing when they need to go to the bathroom, congratulating children for using the potty, learning how to flush, wash, and clean up any “sprinkles,” motivating kids to pee before going to bed.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Tot Loves this Alot!!, June 21, 2006

By	Jennifer Jenkins "Book-Loving Mom" (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I took my 19 month old to the Bookstore to choose some Potty Books. She isn't really ready for the actual training process yet but loves all things related to the bathroom - toilets, toilet paper, my underwear, saying poo-poo & pee-pee etc... I had in mind which books I thought we'd buy - but she thought otherwise. This was THE ONLY book that she would sit and read with me. She LOVES nursey rhymes & sing-songs so this really was the perfect fit and best choice for her. She "poo-pooed" at all the others that I was prepared to buy. If your little one loves sing-song rhymes, then this is a safe, fun, and SIllY choice! I guarantee that you will laugh alot when reading the catchy lyrics - Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars great potty training tool, April 2, 2007

By	L. Goldoor (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We just used this book for the first time on our "potty training day" (with the help of Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day). It is really cute for those of you who don't mind singing silly songs to your child. It helped my daughter stay on the potty long enough to have something come out. It was her favorite book of the potty day and I know we will be singing those songs again and again for some time to come until we master this new skill (and of course when child number 2 gets his turn to learn in a year). Great book to have by the potty.
