Great book

Really good book, my daughter loves it.

Excellent Book

My daughter loves Karen Katz's books. And this has been added to her list of favorites. She is 18 months old and I purchased it to introduce her to the concept of potty training (other than the coming into the bathroom with mommy technique). She enjoys the illustration and the stories and I've found that after a couple of readings, she actually wanted to sit on her own potty for an extended period of time. Before the book it was a 2 second sit. I'm very pleased with this book.

a great potty book!

My son (2 years) has loved this book for months. In fact, our family has memorized it now, we have read it so many times. I like how it written on a child's level and emphasized that the most important part of the whole potty learning process is that the child feel good about his/her accomplishments!

Another great book bt Karen Katz

We really like this book too. The colors are vivid and the pictures are big. Keila loves to open the flaps and she likes to tell the collors on the background of the pages. It's a great tool for potty training. Keila is not quite ready yet but the book is a good reinforcement.

This book is brilliant!

I bought this book along with two others for my 18 month old simply to introduce the concept of the potty to her. The first book I bought was called My First Potty Book and it was pretty bad. The second one I bought was Once Upon a Potty which is excellent, but a little too advanced for my daughter. Then I bought A Potty for Me which was perfect. The pictures are big and colorful and the amount of text on each page is perfect for a short attention spanned little girl, not to mention the story is very sweet and well written. The pacing is just right. It doesn't simply tell you how to use a potty, but goes into the anxiety a child might have as well as the trying and geting it wrong and the practicing and then the trying and getting it right. My daughter asks me to read this book to her over and over again, every night. As for the lift the flap concept, it's not exactly what you would expect. It's more like a page that folds out to another page. Picture a storybook with a centerfold on each page. I guess that's the easiest way of describing it. That little piece of interaction helps keep the little ones' attention. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I SURE HOPE IT WORKS!

Well we have a two year old that we are hoping to get potty trained very soon. He has his own potty...he knows how to sit on it and what it's used for. Now it's all about getting him to know when to use it. Karen Katz has been putting out wonderful books for babies and toddlers for so long that she was the natural choice when we were looking for a fun book to read about potty training. With interactive gatefold flaps, this book addresses the perennial toddler issue of potty training. In a very realistic, child-appealing text, it describes how a gender-neutral toddler struggles to learn how to use the potty. As with her other books Karen has illustrated this lift the flap book with fun, colorful pictures that kids relate so well to. My son really gets a kick out of seeing the child sitting on the potty. Hopefully it will payoff very soon. Highly recommended!
