This is a very good potty training book for boys. (There is a girl version available also.) The language is frank (although not crude) which is necessary for a child of the age who is potty training to understand. It is reasuring and at times funny. There is an entire page of "and sat and sat and sat and sat and sat....." The potty in the book looks more like an old chamber pot than a modern children's potty, but the potties in the store look different from each other, too. We talked about this and it didn't confuse my child. He just found it interesting. Some of the words such as "wee-wee" are not words that we use, but we just substituted the words we use when reading the story. I would recommend this book.
I was telling one of my co-workers about my wife using Once Upon a Potty (girl) to potty-train our 16 months old daughter. My co-worker was impressed by how the book can help you train your baby and I thought it would be a good present for her 9 months old baby boy so, I bought this one for them ('cause the one we had was for girl) and in about 3 weeks later she is telling me that her baby is doing (his two things) in the potty any time she reads the book carrying him with the potty! lol and he doesn't even walk! That is something that makes parents really happy, so, I was really happy too for the awesome present that I gave them. The book is very well illustrated, very funny, very simple for babies to understand what's in the book regardless of age (from what I see) and affordable. it is worth to buy it.Read full review
I have had this book for all 5 of my childern. Boys & Gils versions are great. All body parts are pointed out. it is a little graphic but so is potty training. It is important to know all about these things. The book shows accidents happen and trying agian and agian. I dont like the part where the child takes the potty to mommy but i just skip that page because I do not want my kid running around with his poo in the potty to show me. Overall a great book to introduce the idea of potty training and to read while in the bathroom..trying to go.
I bought this book because I remember my aunt used this book to help potty train my cousins back in the 80's. The book is very direct and to the point, but my son looses interest fast. There is almost too much information. Maybe it is just too much for a 20 month old. I will maybe try again later to read it too him. In the meantime, I have bought a couple other books to try including "My Big Boy Potty".
I have a 2 year old son who is opposed to using the potty. I can't say that we have started using the potty since reading this book but it definetly has opened up a new subject of conversation. Something that was scary to him before has now become a thing to look forward to. He has gained more interest in the potty but still not sure about using it. I think that the more we read this book the more open he is becoming to the idea. I think this is a great book for starting to talk about using the potty and what body parts boys use to go potty. I would recommend this book.
