MOther of an 18 mo boy, this book is great--however, I wish it didn't reference the word POTTY...but we just replace it with toilet throughout. My son seems to really enjoy it.Book Review: Great book!

My son loves to hear about Henry each bathroom break. Only thing is he loves it so much he wants to carry it around with him!Book Review: The Potty Book - For Boys
Summary: 3 Stars
ISBN 0764152327 - I'm not the best person to review a potty training book. My son is an adult, for one thing. His potty training took days when he was 14 months old and he never used a potty. So my review is of the book itself, rather than of the effectiveness of it as a toilet training tool.
Henry is a happy child who has lots of fun. Before he can get started each day, however, he has to get his diaper changed. One day, Mommy has a large box just for Henry. Inside is his very own potty, for when he's ready to try it. It takes him time and he has some setbacks, but eventually the big day comes - Henry uses the potty successfully! Henry assures the reader that they, too, can do it.
Things to know: Clearly they use the word "potty". Personally, I prefer the word toilet, and other parents might use other terms. Henry uses the words "pee" and "poop"; you may prefer other terms and even your child's preschool or babysitter can be a factor in the choice. (For example, I know of a preschool that teaches the kids to say "I need to use it", without specifying what "it" is.) Henry has a mother and father, while your child may have one parent or two parents of the same gender. Henry uses a little potty on the floor; some parents may simply opt to use the toilet. None of those things mean anything to me but may be factors in your decision to use this book.
The rhyming text, by author Alyssa Satin Capucilli, is okay, but gets stilted every now and then. The rhyme starts out smoothly, with the rhyming parts on each set of facing pages, but it gets clunky as the second line of the rhyme is eventually moved onto the next page. Illustrator Dorothy Stott's images are basic and cute and, although they're not terribly special, they do capture the text well, especially Henry's happiness when he is finally free of his diapers.
