great potty training book!!!

Customer Rating:
We have bought several potty training books & this one, by far, has captivated my daughter's attention.....we were reading it to her every night for awhile. The tone is very positive, but it also brings up that making accidents are OK & part of the learning process. The pictures are fun & colorful....they show the whole family getting involved with the potty training process. They show pictures of girls sitting on the potty & boys standing up...pictures of pee-pee & poo-poo.....this is all great so kids can visualize what things are supposed to look like. It also goes over steps like washing your hands & shopping for big kid underwear. I also like how they explain going to the potty in the "big picture of life"....this is the next step to growing up.

My daughter loves this book. I love all the Sears' books. I would recommend all of their books.

good choice

Customer Rating:
This book is well presented and has a lot of information for parents at the beginning and some suggestions throughout the book. Most of the illustrations are of boys and I would have preferred some of girls because I bought this for my daughter but it is fine because it is a good way to start the conversation about the difference when she is ready.

Great book for AP and "crunchy" parents

Customer Rating:
My son loved this book from the time we got it. In fact he is now 3 1/2 and had been using the potty for quite some time and he still asks to read it. Loved it's pro-breastfeeding slant. Also really appreciated its talk about diapers as we used cloth and always dropped the poopy in the toilet when they were dirtied. (Packages of disposables also tell you to do that actually as it is considered bio-hazardess waste) However, if you are not pro-breastfeeding and are uncomfortable speaking frankly about body functions, then this wouldn't be the book for you and there are probably many other books out there that would suit you better. Highly recommend this book!

shows nursing and co-sleeping

Unlike most books, this book pictures a mother nuring her baby and a co-sleeper. I am not fond of the cartoon illustrations, but they are not terrible (I usually prefer photos instead). My 19 mo. old daughter loves this book.
