Instant favorite

My 18 month old loved this book the moment it arrived in the mail. The pictures of baby Ernie are cute and the steps taught are simple, but complete. We read this book over and over. When we read it, our son wants to go use his potty like Ernie. The book uses the word "go" so it's easy to insert your word of choice (pee, poop, etc...).

Big help

My 2-1/2 year old son loved this book. It arrived on day 3 of our potty training effort, and it really seemed to motivate him to poop on the potty, which he had been fearful of, although he had been great at going pee pee on the potty and was already staying dry all day. This book and the one called "The Potty Book for boys" are both very good, I thought, in that regard. (I have two other potty books, but I can't remember their names. One has a noise button that makes flushing sounds.) I agree with those who say the wording is fine about having to "go" etc. without specific words - - but, let me say further that, "Hello, parents! Unless your potty "trainee" can actually read the words in the book, or unless you have so many different readers of it that you can't enforce the reading of a consistent version of it, you can MAKE UP, skip or substitute whatever words you want![.]!" I have changed "pee" to "pee pee" or added discussion of "poop" instead of just "going potty" in this book and others. Just make it consistent every time you read it, or they'll figure that out very quickly. Repetition is key. Good luck, potty trainers. FYI - - we are on day 8 now, and he is making all pee pee and all poops in the potty (the big toilet actually with a toilet ring), except we do still put him in his diaper for afternoon nap and nighttime.

A perfect introduction!

My son was showing some of the signs that he might be ready for his own potty, so I bought this book to introduce the basics. I was really impressed. It explains how babies wear diapers, but when they grow up, they use a potty. It also illustrates important points like not using too much toilet paper and washing your hands afterwards. It's a simple story, so it doesn't go into a lot of detail. There's no discussion of "poo-poo" or "pee-pee." It just uses the generic term "having to go." But I don't think that's a bad thing. This book isn't meant to be the only training tool you use. I think it's a great introduction to potty training. And my son can't get enough of it. He wants to read it over and over. You'll have it memorized within a week.

a mom of a new toileteer

My son loves this book! He has memorized it and repeats it while he sits on the potty. I think Joanna Cole's book has more useful information, but this is a good one to get a very young child psyched up about using the potty.

An excellent choice

This is a great book. Baby Ernie learns all the steps of using a potty, from stopping what he's doing when he "has to go" to washing his hands when he's done. Our 20 month old son loves it, and even likes to read it when we put him on the potty!! A great "starter" book for parents with toddlers at the training stage.
