No current Talk conversations about this book. filthy filthy book ( ) This book has 3 main things wrong with it: 1) It repeats "I, Joshua's mother" over and over, implying that fathers don't change diapers or help with toilet training. 2) It uses cutesy language: "make a Wee-Wee" instead of "pee", "pee-pee" instead of "penis". 3) It shows toilet training as being finished when the kid pees and poops in the potty once, but the kid also needs to be able to reliably tell when they need to head toward the potty This book was an X-mas gift from a family member when I was only like 3 months pregnant, and I thought it was a weird gift. I was unaware how important it would one day be! I moved across the country with my boy shortly before he was potty-trainable. I misplaced the book and ended up not having it when I needed it. After I had decided that potty-training my child was the hardest thing in the world since labor, I got my hands on the book again. And that's the end of the story!!! My son read the book with me, loved it, and decided to be just like "Joshua" who learned to go Potty! I also borrowed the video version of the story from the library and the room full of babies singing the potty song helped him become even more excited about going potty like a big kid. Thanks to this book, the ordeal of potty training was brought to a much-needed end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! no reviews | add a review
