“This book sat on the back of our toilet during our potty training days for both of our little boys. They loved this book. It is very simple. Not a lot of words. It shows a little kid who needs to go potty and is realizing he doesn't want to go in his diaper, so what should he do? It shows what a cat and dog do when they need to go and then shows the little kid wanting to try his potty. Most of all it encourages other kiddos to try out the potty too. And then the great reward of wearing underwear. Note: you do see a bare bum, but the pictures are great and modest for a potty book :)”
