Sign in to write a reviewThis book can be read cold. Parents might want to have their child's own potty chair nearby to point out the similarities between the book and their home environment. A parent who is feeling frustrated by recent accidents or a child who is showing resistance/fear of the toilet would benefit from the calming, repetitive nature of this story.
A 1-year-old will enjoy the colorful illustrations and simple labels for body parts and objects. A 3-year-old will engage more with the sequence of events and the 'growth mindset' message that it is okay to keep trying.
Unlike some potty books that focus on humor or 'bathroom talk,' this one prioritizes the emotional resilience aspect, specifically telling the child that it is okay if they don't get it right immediately.
The book follows a young girl as she navigates the transition from diapers to using the potty. It covers the physical sensations of needing to go, the equipment involved (potty chair and toilet), the hygiene steps like wiping and washing hands, and the emotional reality that success might not happen on the first try.
