Do yourself a favor and check this book out from the library before you decide to buy. I grew up with Little Critter books and we've been reading them to our 2 year old most of his life. He just loves them! However, we just got The New Potty and I am not impressed. Truth be told, I don't like most of the Gina Mayer/Mercer Mayer collabs. The illustrations are not as well done and the stories come off as either preachy or a bad attitude. In this particular book, we have Little Critter narrating about his little sister's experiences learning the potty. It's full of comments about how it's "weird" that sister practices sitting on the potty while watching TV, how he doesn't think she looks any cuter than him, and how he thinks she still acts like a baby, even when Mom and Dad say she's a big girl now once she's successfully using the potty. Sorry, none of that is helpful in giving my son a positive potty-learning experience. He does not have any siblings to understand the sibling-rivalry comments, and I highly doubt at age 2 he would grasp them even if he did. I don't need him thinking he's "weird" for practicing sitting on the potty wherever he feels like. And I don't need him getting the idea that even once he masters this big step in growing up, someone might still think he's just a baby. We're going to have to skip over many of the lines or make up something different when we read him this book.I wish Mercer had done a potty book long ago, on his own. His style of effortless, entertaining storytelling, while gently teaching life lessons, is sadly missing from these later books.
My son loves this book! We actually now have two - one for home and one when he travels to the sitter or grandparents' house, etc. The picures are colorful and attract your immediately. The story is simple and gets the whole family involved in the potty training process. It is very positive and easy to understand so little ones can follow the meaning. I (and my son) highly recommend it. My son feels it is a 'must read' when going to the potty.
What a great learning tool! My daughter loves this book. She is successfully potty trained! Yeepee! This book describes everything, even the time when purchasing the potty chair. It even describes "accidents", which let her know that they will happen and that it is OK. I love the way the entire family helps with the potty training. This will be very helpful when my younger child starts potty training! Great book! Good luck!
We bought this book as well as several other books, when we noticed our child wasn't buying into our advice about how convenient it is for him as well as his parents that he use the toilett, we resorted to this method and it seemed to work all by itself with little influence from the adults. We simply sat down and read it to him and voila.. it worked. I have no idea which book hat the most influence but this was one of them.
The story is nothing like the cover illustration. The cover leads you to believe this story is told from the perspective of the sweet little girl pictured with her new potty. NOT at all. The story is told from the perspective of her older brother, who has nothing but negative attitudes about his sister's potty-training process.
I bought this book for my 2-year-old daughter as soon as we started potty training her. she absolutely loved it she even brought it with her into the bathroom when she had to make a number 2! We would read it, and it would help her relax. She would reference the story anytime she successfully went to the bathroom on the toilet.I highly recommend getting this book for any little girl that might be ready to start potty training. it has bright colorful pictures and an enjoyable storyline!
I'm helping my friend potty train her daughter since I have experience with potty training, I plan on reading this to this little girl as she sits on the potty to hopefully help her with the process, very beautifully drawn pictures and the story is kind of funny like when the brother and her are in the sand box and she has big girl underwear on and she has an accident or when she says potty but mother is busy so her big brother has to help her go potty and she misses her potty chair. I let my kids read this book and they were bursting with laughter because of its funny moments and detailed pictures to go with the story line.thanks for taking the time to read my review and I really hope that it was helpful to you. God bless
While in the throws of potty training, I figured books might be a good start to get us talking about going on the toilet with our 2 year old. This book is cute, but doesn't really go into the "business" of potty training, meaning the book doesn't really teach you anything about potty training. My 2 year old has little interest in reading this book and to be honest, I don't either. We picked four potty training books total and this is probably his least favorite. That being said, the story itself is cute and the critters are always funny, the illustrations are cute too.
