Book Reviews of Too Big for Diapers (Sesame Street) (Too Big Board Books)
Book Review: Cute and More Educational Than Most
Summary: 5 Stars
I have twin twenty-five month old daughters, and they both love this book. They "read" it while they sit on their potty. About two weeks ago I introduced this book, along with "The Toddler Potty Book," and two DVDs ("Potty Power" and "No More Diapers"), and in the span of four days, both girls have gone from diapers to panties. Today (day four) one had one accident-- and it was a "number two," which of course is harder to learn, although she did just fine later when that need arose again-- and the other had two "number one" accidents, so we're not finished with potty training, but I credit educational books such as this one with our overall success. I don't know that what they have learned thus far will stick for life, but I am so incredibly pleased (and proud!!).
As for the book itself, it focuses on how Ernie is no longer a baby who wears diapers and is now a big boy who uses the potty. Hygiene issues are addressed. I know my girls both consider wiping and handwashing (and flushing the big potty after I empty theirs) to be the ultimate reward for successfully using the potty (and not just trying... that would result in repeated trips to the bathroom with minimal effort to actually go!). To the book's credit, it does not show Ernie (or Bert in his one-page cameo) doing absolutely inappropriate things with his potty, such as putting it on his head, although it does show him with half of a roll of toilet paper unwound. Both of those demonstrations are absolute no-gos in my opinion regarding the purchase of any potty training medium, but the book does admonish Ernie for his one infraction.
All in all, I would highly recommend this book.
