Three new board books give toddlers a chance to see others, like themselves, learn how to shed their diapers. Tony Ross's 1988 I Want My Potty tells the story of Little Princess, a feisty and expressive toddler who learns that "the potty's the place." Not only does she become attached to it, using it as a swing, but so does the royal admiral as he tows the potty through the water alongside his other toy boats! ( Mar.)

PreS Ross takes a frustrating and often stress-producing subjecttoilet trainingand infuses it with low-key humor. The little princess is not too thrilled with the idea when the queen first tells her, ``The potty's the place,'' but after some practice and several mishaps, she becomes quite pleased with her near-mastery of the art. Children will laugh at her antics and appreciate her predicament when caught unexpectedly at the top of the castle without her potty. The delightfully expressive drawings and non-didactic treatment of the difficult stages of toilet training will be enjoyed by both adults and lttle ones, as will the realization that even princesses have accidents.
