Book Reviews of Once Upon a Potty -- Boy
Book Review: A Must-have before attempting toilet training!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this book prior to potty training 3 generations of boys in our family. I introduce it about 6 months before I think each child will be ready for training. The kids love the story and the fact that the pictures are anatomically correct! They carry the book with them wherever they go and eventually "read" it to themselves.
This book is not a toilet training method or an end unto itself. I think it is best used to prepare children for the idea of using the potty. As a parent educator, mom and grandma I recommend it to all parents to use along with Toilet Training in Less Than A Day.I've never known these to fail if followed accurately!
Book Review: A little too explicit
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is a little to explicit and "colorful" showing the potty (the pictures of the poop and pee-pee). My son is having a hard time understanding what the potty in the book actually is because is looks like a pitcher.Book Review: A must have for parents
Summary: 5 Stars
I read some of the other review's let me clear a few things up. This book was first published about 30 years ago and has been so well loved there is no need to update really. The book has worked for 30 years so why mess with success. The term's used a toddler friendly using the technical terms may not be comfortable for some people but pee pee is a very simple word and the child will get the concept the pee pee is for maiking pee. My son was very hard to potty train. He was two and a half and we were having little success. I found this book at my local book store after remebering my mother used this book when my little sister was having a hard time potty training. The book helped him understand why he needed to use the potty in a way a 2 year old could understand.My son just loved the book he found it to informative and a little silly. This book changed his attitude and made potty training exciting. Give this book a try, it's fantastic. I have used this book with my other child and have recommended it to many friends who loved it too.Book Review: Awkward!
Summary: 1 Stars
This whole book seems to be written for a different time. The potty they have looks like a flower pot. We found that we had to reword most of the dialog to make it appropriate for our family which is fine, but why not just buy a different book.Book Review: Boy neither wipes bottom nor washes hands
Summary: 1 Stars
In addition to the points raised by other reviewers regarding the illustration of the potty and the language used in the book, I am much troubled by the fact that the boy in the book neither wipes his bottom nor washes his hands after he uses the potty. Not the example I'd like my toddler to learn from.
