Summary: pleasant, but not all that helpful
Comment: This is a cheery poem about a boy named Henry who is learning to use the toilet. He uses a separate potty seat rather than a toilet insert, and the book uses the terms pee and poop. There were a couple of things I didn't like about the book -- in one picture Henry is brushing his teeth and has toothpaste squirted all over and a bowl of oatmeal on his head! This is distracting. In another picture urine is in a big puddle on the floor when Henry's had an accident. In yet another, Henry's pants are wet after he had another accident. I guess I feel I can reassure our toddler if there are accidents; I'd like the book to stay on message and show a positive and successful experience. Also, as in most other books of this genre, there is little show-or-tell about the actual anatomy or mechanics. This book isn't terrible and our son likes it, I just don't think it has helped much.

Summary: The greatest Potty Training tool we've found!
Comment: Our son just turned 2 but has been showing signs of being ready to potty train for some time. We haven't pushed it at all, but after ordering this book for him, he's decided to start using his potty. At first he'd only sit on it with the lid down and his clothes on. Then with the potty lid up, and last night, he actually used his potty!
While reading the book: We have developed a little game of looking for Henry's (the character in the book) diaper on each page of the book, which he really enjoys. We also laugh and clap for Henry when Henry uses his potty. This books is very cute, and the rhyming text grasped our sons attention from the very beginning
Beware though, if you get to read it as often as we do... you may find yourself repeating it throughout the day!
Considering my sons complete defiance against the potty before we got this book and a potty seat for him (we originally had bought a toddler size toilet seat which he hated), and his total acceptance and excitment about using the potty now, I would be inclined to say that this book will help nearly ANY little boy with potty training!

Summary: Only at toilet time
Comment: I too wish this book was a board book as it's taking a hammering. We keep it in the toilet and only bring it out when we're having a 'go'. I read it over and over again and am already getting sick of the sound of my own voice but the little guy loves it. In New Zealand we don't say dipers so I change the words around to nappy, wees and poos and even call the boy by my son's name (2 years)It keeps him focused on what we're doing. Good quality book all the same and I like another reviews idea of putting a sticker inside each time there is a successful deposit. Hasn't happened yet but we're not far off!
