Book Reviews of My Potty Book for Girls (Potty Books)
Book Review: Use a little toilet paper, then wash and dry your hands!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is our only potty book, so I don't know how it compares to others, but it's been a big hit in our house. We started reading it to my twin girls at about 18 months and it's now essential potty time entertainment. Their favorite part is confirming -- loudly -- that potties do not, in fact, go on your head or your feet. (I was worried they would want to imitate this, but they seem to realize that it's just silly.) I also like the gentle "Take your time, there's no rush" aspect. And I like that it has photographs of real little girls sitting on real potties -- I think they connect with it more than they would with more creative illustrations.
It doesn't go all that much into the mechanics -- it says "Can you go pee-pee? Can you poop?" but without ever specifying what that means. However, I think any 2-year-old who's in the throes of potty training has a good handle on those concepts already. It also makes it sound like if you can do those things, then you are a big girl and can wear underwear -- there's no recognition that training is a gradual process. So far, that hasn't been a problem for us -- they aren't insisting that they're ready for underwear when we know they're not.
I don't think any book can "teach" children how to go potty -- at best, a book gets them excited about using the potty. This one has certainly done that for us.
