My Very Own Potty (two versions!)

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
These potty training books are not only an enjoyable and simple read for toddlers but a useful resource for parents new to the potty training process or looking for new ideas on the topic. Included at the end of the book is two pages of fun stickers and a decent sized chart for the wall! Although the book specifically states using a potty chair I found the phrasing easy enough to change if you simply use a regular toilet for training like we do. The books are sturdy with paper pages, but tough enough to stand up to some wear and tear. A great addition to your bathroom reading collection if you have such a shelf or basket!  Both of these great quality Fisher Price books can be bought at Amazon.com.

Disclosure: This book was graciously sent to me by HarperCollins Publishing.

My Very Own Potty!: A Potty Book for Girls OR A Potty Book for Boys {Fisher-Price} by Gail Herman

Monday, October 6th, 2008
There are 2 versions: A Potty Book for Girls and A Potty Book for Boys. There may be unisex bathrooms, but potty books must be gender-specific. They just have to be. Viva la Difference! The story line is the same in both books, but the wallpaper, underwear and animal friends are different. Each child role-plays by setting their stuffed Teddy Bear on the chair. Is it the same Teddy Bear in each book or boy and girl Twin Teddys? I guess we’ll never know! The boy book has the stuffed bear sitting with one leg modestly slung across the top of the splash guard, rendering his nether parts unknown. And that’s not the only situation that is covered. The first time each child sits on the potty produces no results, but as soon as the diaper is back on “something” happens. The “oops” pictures of both kids are adorable! These books do a great job of guilt-free encouragement to toddlers: potty training is not about perfection but a process. The female book has a feline friend and the male tale is about a boy and his dog. In both books the animal friends cheer their prodigy on, applauding their success and reminding them to flush. Good hygiene and big-boy-and-girl independence is demonstrated with each child standing on a stool to wash their hands. In the back of the book you’ll find potty training tips, fun stickers and a pull-out sticker chart. It’s all here in one inexpensive book. Just add one potty chair and you’ll soon be leaving Diaperland behind!
