The illustrations in this book were definitely my favorite part of this book—they are amazing, fun and unique. I love fractured fairy tales and anything akin to them, but I felt like this book didn't quite live up to my high hopes in terms of a Goldilocks parody. As a potty training book, however, it gives you an opportunity to talk about finding undies your child is excited about, their special potty that's just the right size for them (if applicable) and that even though it may be hard and there may be some accidents along the way, they'll eventually be successful!
