Product Description
Mommy got me a brand new potty!But I'm not ready yet! I want to run and play. Uh-oh, I peed in my pants. But Mommy says, "That's okay!" Children will love following along and lifting the flaps to see the child play, sit on thepotty, eat, sit on the potty, sleep, and then sit on the potty...until finally there is success. Written from a child's point of view, this new potty-training book will help children join in the final refrain, "I'm so proud of me!"

 Great purchase August 24, 2008
This is a wonderful book. I purchased two other books, in addition to this one, to excite my son about potty training. This is his favorite. The book is very fun to ready and easy for my son to understand. He makes me read this to him every day. I feel that this book has made him more interested in potty training.
 Almost the same as another book-buy the other August 10, 2008
Our son really loved Karen's "Toes, Ears and Nose" and although I was disappointed with the text in some of the manners books she wrote, I thought I would give this a try. This was the second potty book we bought-the first was "The Potty Book for Boys" which is cute and really enjoyable for our son. I was extemely shocked when we read this and, low and behold- the words in this book are almost exactly like the other book! This was confusing for our son and difficult to explain why this was almost the same. I will never buy one of her books again. Buy the other potty book and you will not be disappointed.
A great potty training book. July 29, 2008
I've used this book when my older daughter was going through potty training. Now we are doing the same for our youngest. I loved how it emphases that it's okay to have a mishap and just to keep on trying and eventually you will say good-bye to the diaper forever.
 Bad poetry, great illustrations June 28, 2008
I love the pictures in this book. They are clear and appealing to the toddler. The bad rhythm and rhyming structure, though, is jarring. In addition, the book focuses on failure a lot more than success. The baby keeps trying to go on the potty and things just don't work out for him. He finally does in the end, but I get the sense that it makes the process seem a little scary.
 Not To Sure About This Book June 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Let me first mention that I am a huge fan of Karen Katz's books. However, this book was a big disappointment. Instead of teaching the child how to use the potty, the story contradicts using the potty. The child in the book spends most of the time rejecting the potty. This book basically confused my child and I stop reading it. The illustrations are great, but the story indicates that this particular child is not ready to use the potty. The lack of encouragement and motivation of potty training in this story is not great at all.
