Book Reviews of Once Upon a Potty -- Boy
Book Review: Buyer's remorse
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not purchase this book. I looked for a few books to get my son excited about potty training. I don't consider myself to be an ultra conservative type, but after the first few pages I was appalled. I've read this book to my son once. Even my 10 year old daughter was disgusted by the book when she heard me reading it to my son.
This book did not catch my son's attention, for many reasons - I am sure. The illustrations were very bland. The book reads more like a textbook (with the exclusion of proper names for body parts). I think the author was more worried about being gramatically correct then having a fun to read book with an enticing cadence. One last thing... How can we expect our child to relate to Joshua's potty experience when his potty looks more like a bowl, large planter or old school pitcher?
Book Review: Needs updated pictures
Summary: 1 Stars
My son recieved this as a gift. When I read it he thought the potty was something to eat out of. The picture looks like a mug full of food instead of a potty. The pictures do not look current and it does not look like any potty he has ever seen. They show the potty on peoples heads and the cat drinking out of it. I think it sending the wrong message. Very strange book although the concept is good.Book Review: Would Not Recommend
Summary: 1 Stars
I, the reader, find this to be a terribly written book. (If you read it, you'll see what I mean by that!) I also don't like the use of made-up names for anatomical parts. I think she calls it a "Pee Pee". Call it what it is. Agree with other reviewers about the so-called "potty" in the illustrations is very confusing. It looks nothing like a toilet. This was a complete waste of my money.Book Review: Boy neither wipes bottom nor washes hands
Summary: 1 Stars
In addition to the points raised by other reviewers regarding the illustration of the potty and the language used in the book, I am much troubled by the fact that the boy in the book neither wipes his bottom nor washes his hands after he uses the potty. Not the example I'd like my toddler to learn from.Book Review: Awkward!
Summary: 1 Stars
This whole book seems to be written for a different time. The potty they have looks like a flower pot. We found that we had to reword most of the dialog to make it appropriate for our family which is fine, but why not just buy a different book.
