Summary: Clever book and easy for toddlers to understand
Comment: I bought this book after reading the positive customer reviews and the high 'average rating'. My two-and-a-half year old son really enjoys the book and understands the concept of "go sit on potty", but I don't believe the book has help him all that much. In fact, the first week we had the book I probably read it to him 3-4 times a day. Now when he's sitting on the potty he prefers "The Little Engine That Could" (no pun intended). It's been a couple of months now and he is still in Pull-Ups. I'm considering using the book in combination with a Potty Dotty doll or something similar.
Again, the book is well written and easy to understand but I think, from personal experience, it doesn't promote enthusiasm in the child.

Summary: Love it, Hate it...
Comment: I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I really liked the content and the way it explains how Joshua learned to go on the potty. However, I find myself frustrated with the terms poo poo, pee pee and, my least favorite, wee wee. What's wrong with calling things what they are? I realize that the words used are meant to appeal to toddlers and the way they speak, but in our house we prefer not to give genitals goofey names.
In the long run it doesn't really matter how I feel about the book because my son loves it. Although, I chose to change some of the pee pee, wee wee parts.

Summary: don't read this to your child.
Comment: I found this book way far on the edge of what any parent would really want to teach their child.
The pictures are graphic, which for me is fine as they are nature (but may not be to all.)However he pees in something that looks like a bowl then a toilet. Also they seem to stray from potty training itself a bit. However the biggest part that bothered me was the reference to where you poop from. They refer to it as a "HOLE". Now I find nothing wrong with 'bottom' personally but even if someone was more inclined to use another word I would hear 'tush' or 'rear' but never have I heard hole. Often you here hole used in terminology as rude (ex: "shut your hole") I can't understand why the author chose to use a word that sounds more insulting the realistic or informational. There are many other book out there that teach the poitives and cover the same subjects in a better way.
