Book Reviews of Once Upon a Potty -- Boy
Book Review: Nice 'classic' potty book.
Summary: 5 Stars
The great part about this book that sets it apart from other 'potty' books I've seen, is that it describes body parts in terms children can understand. It's also fun to exaggerate the repeated concepts & words when reading aloud, i.e. " he sat, and sat, and sat, and sat". Funny book.Book Review: Not as good as other potty training books
Summary: 3 Stars
My two year old son isn't as interested in me reading this book as other potty books. I heard the Once upon a Potty book for a girl was great, so I bought this one for my son, but I'm not too impressed.Book Review: Once Upon a Potty-Boy
Summary: 5 Stars
Potty training can be a very stressful time for both child and parent. Some children seem to take to the potty naturally. Others, like my little guy, seem to find the whole process alien and rather intimidating.
Once Upon a Potty-Boy is a tell it like it is book about potty training. It discusses the parts (in children's terms) and what is going to happen. It encourages and even takes into consideration that mistakes will happen. But, when they are ready, the potty will be there.
My little guy is one of those kids that has to understand the why and how of things. If he doesn't see the point of something, he simply won't do it. Once Upon a Potty-Boy shows him step by step and explains things in a way he seemed to comprehend. At least now he's willing to try the potty. That's a big step in the right direction.
Book Review: Once Upon...
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a baby shower gift in 1985, before there were gender-specific changes (it was all about Joshua back then). My daughter liked it, and loved "reading" when he "sat and sat and sat and sat..." on the potty.
Although we did not use all the same terms for anatomy as the book does, the point was fun and funny for our daughter. Then came our first of three sons. Our first son loved the book, and also wanted to "read" the "sat and sat" page whenever we got to it. He had memorized 100 sats, I had memorized the rest of the book. Although I am an RN and my husband an MD, we did not find the childish words for anatomy and body waste offensive nor dumbing-down. By the time our kids reached college, they were pretty secure in what all the parts were called in many lingos, languages, as well as the scientific terms.
The best part of this review is: when my son was two and wanted to read this book daily (up to three or four times each day), he suddenly one day jumped up, announced he "wanted to be like Joshua," and was potty-toilet-or whatever trained from that day forward. Can I give this a ten star rating? For THAT part of the story, there is no price!!
