Book Reviews of Once Upon a Potty -- Boy
Book Review: Fun Book, But Not What I'd Consider A Teaching Tool
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoy reading "Once Upon A Potty" to my kids. It's rather direct and features gender-specific illustrations of the "parts" for boys and girls. This particular book features the male anatomy of little Joshua. Joshua's story gives children the confidence to sit and wait for something to happen, even if it doesn't feel like something will occur.
I personally don't consider this book a good teaching tool for potty training. While it's a fun story and does get rather specific about body parts, it doesn't teach little boys how to stand when urinating. As others have stated, the illustrated potty is a "wee" bit outdated as well.
Still, kids will have fun with this book and I do mildly recommend it. Some parents might think that terms like wee-wee, poo-poo and pee-pee are too childish for their children, but I think they're just fine for the little ones.
Book Review: Cute book
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a cute book that my 2 year old really seems to enjoy, but I wouldn't say that it is really teaching him to want to use the potty any more than he already did. When Joshua, the little boy in the book, gets his own potty, the book goes through several pages of Joshua wondering what the potty is. After the first read through, my son was asking if we could skip those pages because he already knew it was a potty! I do like that it goes through the different parts of the body and tells what they are for. My son says, "Joshua has eyes like me! Joshua has hands like me! He has a wee-wee like me!" I think maybe if we'd gotten the DVD in conjunction with the book, it might have been more helpful.Book Review: Disappointed about this "potty classic"
Summary: 3 Stars
I know this is a book that has been around for awhile but I was disappointed. I think there is a lot better options. If I could tear out a few of the pages where the boy is playing games with his potty chair, that would be good. I have a toddler that learns by example (aka monkey see, monkey do) and the idea of showing him different things the boy in this book can do with his potty is a terrible idea! The potty is used for one thing... going potty! I think there are better options than this one.Book Review: My son loves this.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book goes with the DVD. Together it makes a great gift iteam. My son just turn two. He had this book since we was 18 months. He loves to read about the Potty and watch the DVD too. Ofcourse, doctors says that the best time for boys to start potty training is around 2 1/2 years and your boy will really understand it my 34 months. So don't aspect any miracles with this book but start showing him the Dvd and read this book to familiarize with the concept of going to potty. :)Book Review: very similar to a book i own
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this book while trying to train my son Joshua. The character in the book is Joshua, too, so I thought my son would like it...
After reading several times, I couldn't help by notice it is very much like "the potty book" that I bought a year ago! Although this book is much older, it seems someone else thought it was good enough to copy!
My son does like it, but not enough to go potty on the toilet full time!!!
