Summary
Every little boy's graduation from diapers to the potty is always a very important moment--and one to make both parents and toddlers proud！ In The Potty Book， Henry needs to have his diapers changed so he can go out and play。 Then mom and dad bring home a big box， and Henry is anxious to open it up and see what's inside。 Is it a rocking chair？ A bed for Teddy？ No， it's a potty--which means that it's time for Henry to graduate from his diapers。 This gentle and humorous little story is charmingly illustrated and told in verse。 Little boys will enjoy looking at the pictures and having the story read to them。 Meanwhile， they'll start getting the idea that it's time for them to grow up， exactly like Henry。 So that at last， they'll be able to say--"I'm off the potty！"

What a great book

We are working on potty training and my little guy needs all of the help he can get。 It could have easily been about boys or girls。 I like that it rhymes。

This book was about a little boy learning how to use the potty。 I liked it。 It was a long book but I still liked it。 Thank youuu

My son loved this story of Henry learning to use the potty - cute and nice pictures。

Ok。 A little long。 My toddler didn't sit through the whole book。 Illustrations are good （not too explicit）。 text is mostly in verse。 I did like the part where it talks about pride and not giving up。 Ok。 A little long。 My toddler didn't sit through the whole book。 Illustrations are good （not too explicit）。 text is mostly in verse。 I did like the part where it talks about pride and not giving up。 。。。more

This was not the best potty introduction book for us。 Overly cute in it's illustrations。 Also， the words were in sorta-verse。 Like， most of the book had a cadence to it， but a couple of pages deviated from that cadence， which threw me off。 And this isn't just my opinion: my toddler didn't ask for repeated readings of this one。 This was not the best potty introduction book for us。 Overly cute in it's illustrations。 Also， the words were in sorta-verse。 Like， most of the book had a cadence to it， but a couple of pages deviated from that cadence， which threw me off。 And this isn't just my opinion: my toddler didn't ask for repeated readings of this one。 。。。more

Trying this in our potty training efforts。 We've been reading it for a few days in the bathroom now。 Not my favorite， but not obnoxious--so that's a plus。 SS has been OK with it。 Trying this in our potty training efforts。 We've been reading it for a few days in the bathroom now。 Not my favorite， but not obnoxious--so that's a plus。 SS has been OK with it。 。。。more

Many of the low-star reviewers （on Amazon） were frustrated with the plot （Henry potty trains himself） and how the book fails to teach potty training mechanics to kids。 Also， the title is randomly gendered。 There isn't a lick of sense in it being "for boys。" But these were not deal-breakers for me， so I bought it anyway。I think the book's simple aim is to motivate kids to be more independent。 And the set-up for this is Henry listing all the things he can do by himself: eat breakfast， brush his te Many of the low-star reviewers （on Amazon） were frustrated with the plot （Henry potty trains himself） and how the book fails to teach potty training mechanics to kids。 Also， the title is randomly gendered。 There isn't a lick of sense in it being "for boys。" But these were not deal-breakers for me， so I bought it anyway。I think the book's simple aim is to motivate kids to be more independent。 And the set-up for this is Henry listing all the things he can do by himself: eat breakfast， brush his teeth， pick out his clothes， and get dressed for the day。My twins have autism and can't really do any of these things independently。 As a result， the night I sat down to read this to them， I choked up， and quickly ad libbed my way through these pages。 I'm sure the author and publisher would say that they didn't mean for kids with autism or other delays to feel badly about themselves and the book wasn't written for them--but I really think that books should find ways to work for a diversity of kids。 Besides， I can only review this book from my perspective， and from where I'm sitting， it's full of assumptions。 。。。more

Seemed to be a useful tool。 So far hasn't worked any magic but at least it helped get the basic concepts out there。 Not my favorite thing to read but it is functional。 Seemed to be a useful tool。 So far hasn't worked any magic but at least it helped get the basic concepts out there。 Not my favorite thing to read but it is functional。 。。。more

We have the girl version for my daughter， so we bought this one for my son。 It's exactly the same， except the names of the little kid and the pronouns。 The illustrations are also exactly the same， just one is a boy and one a girl。 I have no complaints。 It's catchy and my kids like it。 I'm sure I'll be reading boy version a lot over the next year or so。 We have the girl version for my daughter， so we bought this one for my son。 It's exactly the same， except the names of the little kid and the pronouns。 The illustrations are also exactly the same， just one is a boy and one a girl。 I have no complaints。 It's catchy and my kids like it。 I'm sure I'll be reading boy version a lot over the next year or so。 。。。more

Once Upon a Potty is a better version of the same thing。 Basics told without a gimmick。 I do like that its a board book a little more resilient in the bathroom。

This has quickly become a favorite book of our 18 month old as well as us （his parents）。 He connects with the story and is on his way to be ready to potty train。 As parents， we appreciate the simple and rhyming story。

Max collection。 From the art and title I though we already had this book。 Must be a companion book to the one we have about Michael--a boy who just got a new potty。 This book takes it a step further to really using and being a big boy all the time。

The Potty Book for Boys is a potty training books that looks to a little boy’s eagerness to grow up。 It starts off discussing all the things that the little one has learned and can now do that he couldn’t as a baby。 That， the next step is potty training。 This book has a kind of light sing songy feel to it。 The little boy in the book has a teddy bear who he talks to and helps him while on the potty showing that potty training isn’t scary。 In fact， it’s fun and a natural part of growing up。I’m no The Potty Book for Boys is a potty training books that looks to a little boy’s eagerness to grow up。 It starts off discussing all the things that the little one has learned and can now do that he couldn’t as a baby。 That， the next step is potty training。 This book has a kind of light sing songy feel to it。 The little boy in the book has a teddy bear who he talks to and helps him while on the potty showing that potty training isn’t scary。 In fact， it’s fun and a natural part of growing up。I’m not sure if my little guy is convinced that potty training is fun。 However， this book did fix one issue we had been having。 The first potty book we read had a little girl sitting on the potty with her clothes on。 My little one assumed that you needed pants on to use the potty。 This created a great deal of confusion and anxiety。 The Potty Book for Boys also shows the boy sitting on the potty with his clothes on but then shows him taking off his pants to actually use the potty。 。。。more

MY son LOVES this potty book。 He spends hours sitting on his little potty chair reading it。 It is a great book to give a little boy the incentive he needs to try out the potty。

"I want to look at the potty book。" This is what Milo said when Mamma asked him what he thought of the book。 When he sees where the boy pees in on the floor， he says， "That boy is sad， because he peed on the carpet。" He then bends over and kisses him better。 He likes to look at the book over and over， especially when when sitting on the potty himself。 "I want to look at the potty book。" This is what Milo said when Mamma asked him what he thought of the book。 When he sees where the boy pees in on the floor， he says， "That boy is sad， because he peed on the carpet。" He then bends over and kisses him better。 He likes to look at the book over and over， especially when when sitting on the potty himself。 。。。more

Sturdier pages than most hardcover books。 Nice small 6 1/2 inch square book for little hands。 I like that the illustrations alternate between a complete in-home setting and sparse images with a white background。

This was an excellent book about potty training for boys！ Really positive message， colorful pictures， and nice rhyming scheme。 Devin loves it！

My son learned to go on the potty with the help of this book。 He loved it！ He insisted that I read it to him every night even for awhile after he was trained。 lolWhen it comes time to potty train my little girl I will get the girl version for sure。 I highly recommend！

my little guy LOVES the book， he reads it while he sits on the potty。 a little boy gets his first potty， and learns how to use it with his friend the teddy bear。

This rhyming book is sweet and fun for the would-be potty-goer。 I recommend it as a great book to keep your child interested in potty learning。 It's very upbeat。 My son comes away from it smiling， excited and ready to give the potty a try。 This rhyming book is sweet and fun for the would-be potty-goer。 I recommend it as a great book to keep your child interested in potty learning。 It's very upbeat。 My son comes away from it smiling， excited and ready to give the potty a try。 。。。more
