Andrew will be two in January so, with baby number two on the way, that means its time to introduce the potty! We have had a musical potty hanging out in our bathroom since this summer, but he didn't do much with it but "flush" it. But, since we've had The Potty Book for Boys by Alyssa Satin Cupcilli, we have had one successful potty attempt! (I'm not kidding myself, though, that he won't be in diapers for a while longer. Two in diapers--yikes!)
The Potty Book for Boys--and its sister book The Potty Book for Girls--is adorable and features a toddler boy or girl as he/she learns to use the potty along with his/her beloved teddy bear. The story is just perfect, covering both the accidents and successes along the way to being potty trained. And the illustrations are so sweet, but do show a lot of bare baby butt--just in case you're opposed to that!
For $5.95, I was also really impressed with the length of the book (32 pages) and the quality of the hardcover and its thick glossy pages.
And, of course, I do love that the children in each of the books have red hair!
The Potty Book actually reminded me a lot of one of our other favorite children's books featuring a redhead and his teddy bear: I Love You Through and Through by Bernadette Rosetti Shustak. Both books are winners for kids with or without red hair--and great gifts too!
I was thinking about getting Ollie the Too Big for Diapers book with Ernie from Sesame Street... I'll check this one out though! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check that one out too! Anything with Sesame Street or Nick Jr characters is up Andrew's alley. And anything that helps with potty training is up mine!
