Product Description
Mommy got me a brand new potty!

But I'm not ready yet!

I want to run and play.

Uh-oh, I peed in my pants.

But Mommy says, "That's okay!"

Children will love following along and lifting the flaps to see the child play, sit on thepotty, eat, sit on the potty, sleep, and then sit on the potty...until finally there is success.

Written from a child's point of view, this new potty-training book will help children join in the final refrain, "I'm so proud of me!"

I bought this book along with two others for my 18 month old simply to introduce the concept of the potty to her. The first book I bought was called My First Potty Book and it was pretty bad. The second one I bought was Once Upon a Potty which is excellent, but a little too advanced for my daughter. Then I bought A Potty for Me which was perfect. The pictures are big and colorful and the amount of text on each page is perfect for a short attention spanned little girl, not to mention the story is very sweet and well written. The pacing is just right. It doesn't simply tell you how to use a potty, but goes into the anxiety a child might have as well as the trying and geting it wrong and the practicing and then the trying and getting it right.

My daughter asks me to read this book to her over and over again, every night. As for the lift the flap concept, it's not exactly what you would expect. It's more like a page that folds out to another page. Picture a storybook with a centerfold on each page. I guess that's the easiest way of describing it. That little piece of interaction helps keep the little ones' attention.

This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I SURE HOPE IT WORKS! February 17, 2005

Well we have a two year old that we are hoping to get potty trained very soon. He has his own potty...he knows how to sit on it and what it's used for. Now it's all about getting him to know when to use it. Karen Katz has been putting out wonderful books for babies and toddlers for so long that she was the natural choice when we were looking for a fun book to read about potty training.

With interactive gatefold flaps, this book addresses the perennial toddler issue of potty training. In a very realistic, child-appealing text, it describes how a gender-neutral toddler struggles to learn how to use the potty. As with her other books Karen has illustrated this lift the flap book with fun, colorful pictures that kids relate so well to. My son really gets a kick out of seeing the child sitting on the potty. Hopefully it will payoff very soon. Highly recommended!

Also see "The Potty Book" for girls by Cqapucilli February 20, 2005

We love Karen Katz' "Counting Kisses", so I was curious to look at this new book from her. What strikes me is that the words of the book that are available on Amazon.com appear very close to those of a great book called, "The Potty Book for girls" by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, copyright 2000. For instance, Capucilli's book ends with the words, "I am proud of...ME!" just as Karen Katz's book ends. Also the storyline sounds nearly identical in Katz' book as in Capucilli's book. Anyway I would not doubt both are good books but do check out "The Potty Book, for girls" by Capucilli as well. The story and illustrations are top notch and our family reads it often with our two year old.

My son (2 years) has loved this book for months. In fact, our family has memorized it now, we have read it so many times. I like how it written on a child's level and emphasized that the most important part of the whole potty learning process is that the child feel good about his/her accomplishments!

I don't recommend this book August 15, 2007

The story/plot is good; but that doesn't overcome the construction of the book itself. The pages are the thickness of cardstock. This book lasted one week before my 2 year old son tore a page out. The flaps are not your typical "lift the flap". Rather, the pages fold out (think magazine centerfold). My son likes the fold out feature; but again, it's just not durable enough for a toddler who is anxious to flip through the book. Also, the flaps aren't cut to the proper size; so when they are folded back into the book, if not placed perfectly, the book gets "bound up". I recommend you get a sturdy board book. Skip this one.
