This book shows the journey of a child learning to use the potty. It put infacence on the key words such as yucky, stinky, diapers; to show how wearing diapers are not so cool. they also bold the words underwear and big kid to show that big kids wear underwear. The importance of this book is to get kids to use the potty. My little sister has just been fully potty trained fully two months ago and she love this book. ( )

Let's Celebrate!

I USE THE POTTY approaches potty training with a big positive attitude and some subtle psychology. And let's face it, different approaches are needed. Some little people 'get it' and want to be BIG kids like their siblings or friends. While other kids find small rewards like stickers just the thing to motivate them. And some kids --talking to you my dearest son-- need to go at their own stubborn pace.

I USE THE POTTY is a book that can work with all of the above approaches. It's brightly colored and humorous and it doesn't get 'forceful' so you won't run the risk of offending those stubborn "I will make my own decisions, mater and pater" types.

The book starts off by talking about what 'babies' do. Drink their ba-ba, burp, and pee. And there's a picture of a baby sitting in a leaky diaper with a puddle of pee-pee on the floor. Then there's some stinky diaper humor before we get on to the important parts which are what BIG KIDS do!

Since most children who are at the potty training stage no longer wish to be silly babies, this is a message they can embrace.

SUMMARY
A cute little book with colorful pages and plenty of humor. It discusses different aspects of successfully moving beyond diapers --like having to be mindful of your bladder-- so that we adults can can help our littles succeed.
