Love it but no potty success yet!

I purchased this book over a year ago and have been reading it to my daughter while encouraging her to use her potty on a regular basis since then. She absolutely loves it and if i am having trouble convincing her to sit on the pot then this book always helps convince her. Unfortunately it has not helped to speed up the training process as she has just turned 3 and is still holding in her wee and poo until she is back in knickers or her nappy. If i leave her bare she eventually just wees or poos on the floor. This book has made it easy for me to explain what to do and my daughter loves repeating bits back to me and will quite happily sit and look at the pictures on her own. I guess she will do it when she is ready and not before ;o)

Not for younger children

The blurb says this is suitable for children 1 year+. There is a lot of text and the pictures aren't great so whilst it is a sweet story the child will need more advance cognitive skills than a young toddler to get anything from the book, or for the book to emphasise the potty training message it is trying to convey. My book-mad and very verbal 23 month old daughter is uninterested in it- a first for her as she devours books. I'm sure she'll enjoy it in a few months but the story is too complex for her at the moment.

Still a much loved book
|
I bought this when my daughter was 2.5 when we started potty training. She loved it and it really helped her understand what a potty is for. It's really basic and easy for her to understand. It is a bit American but I just read the word diaper as nappy to avoid confusion.
My daughter is 3 now, is completely toilet trained and still loves this book.

Good book for kids

My two year old daughter loved this book. She carried around everywhere she went. She knew what all the pictures meant. She could ask for her 'potty book'. The pictures are great and the message comes across very well.

A good potty training story
|

We bought this book for our 2 year old when potty training - she loved it and was immediately fascinated by the "wee and poo" pictures! She had already done a poo on the potty and been a bit freaked by it until reading this so I think it helped get her over that. We used Gina Ford Potty Training in one week and it took 3 days before she stopped having accidents and they have been rare ever since. I do think this book helped as it gave her something positive to read specifically whilst sitting on the potty. Shame there can't be an English nappy version though.
