Book Review: My Big Girl Potty
Summary: 4 Stars
It was very cute. I bought a lot of different potty books to use on potty training day. My daughter liked it and it killed time while we were sitting.Book Review: Granddaughter Loves It!
Summary: 4 Stars
20 month old granddaughter really likes to look at this book. Hopefully, it will aid in future potty training.Book Review: Worth A Look
Summary: 3 Stars
Both Mommy and Daddy actively participating in Ashley's potty training process. Ashley realistic transitions from diapers to "special big-girl underpants" over time, not instantly. Author Joanna Cole uses questions to draw the child into the story ("Do you wear diapers, too?") as an encouraging parent would. The story concludes with ten common sense tips, such as "Don't rush!" and "Never scold or punish." and "Use a diaper at nap time..."We have read almost every potty book available on the market as of 9/2003 (over two dozen!). Most fit into two categories: INSTRUCTIONAL books that introduce the skills needed to master the potty; and those that are primarily ENTERTAINING, for children who understand what is supposed to happen on the potty, but need extra time to make it happen.
I think My Big Girl Potty fits more in the INSTRUCTIONAL category for the following reasons:
1) It identifies the purpose of the potty.
2) It specifies bodily functions such as "poop" and "pee."
3) Shows the transition from diapers to big kid underwear.
4) Includes the hand washing step.
For other potty books that are instructional, check out What to Expect When You Use the Potty by Heidi Murkoff or You Can Go to the Potty by Martha Sears.
Book Review: OK, but not exciting
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter likes this book, but not a lot. I think it would be better for getting a child started - she was already sitting on the potty and doing her business before we started reading it.Book Review: Too complex
Summary: 2 Stars
Too much of a story going on here. Too many words, and since we use the toilet and not a separate potty seat, my daughter gets confused. Also doesn't know why the bunny goes on the potty seat. They story kept going on after I thought the story should have ended, so it can be inconvenient when you want to have the little one go fast.
