A Potty for Me!. A Lift the Flap Instruction Manual

Editorial Review
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!"

almost perfect

a great potty book! the only thing missing (and it's too short to include it all, really) is an explanation that even after that first "tinkle" in the potty, it takes a long time to make it to underwear!

Great Book!

This book really did wonders for potty traiing my daughter! She really loved this book and still reads it to this day even after being potty trained for several months!

Potty time!

My two-year old daughter loves this book. We're not actively training, just introducing the subject to her. She likes the bright pictures and the folding pages. I do worry that she's going to rip it, but in the mean time she really likes this potty book.

great for potty-training inspiration!

Before we bought this book, my two-year-old never wanted to use the potty. The mere suggestion of it created temper tantrums. Therefore, I usually dropped the subject, not wanting to tramatize him by forcing the issue. When I bought this book and read it to him, he sat on the potty the very same day and went!

Becoming a favorite...

We're trying to make the idea of the potty more attractive and, thanks to this book, my son is taking a mild interest in the potty instead of a definite "NO!" He's starting to think he might even like to have his own potty...ha! Very sweet book and I don't mind reading it regularly.

Bad poetry, great illustrations

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

2008-06-25
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.

Great Potty Book

We've just introduced the potty to my daughter, she's not quite ready yet but she loves this book! When she is ready I know she'll let us know and it will be a smooth transistion

Excellent for introducing the potty

My 20-month old son loves this book. He's not using the potty yet, but he loves to sit on the potty and have me read this book over and over and over... I have two other potty books for young boys and he is not interested in either (can't get past about 4 pages.) This book has just enough text and the story is very sweet. He gets a HUGE smile when we get to the end and read "I'm so proud of me!"

Wonderful
