Summary: Fun Book!!
Review: I looked at all the books in the library and really didn't like them too much. I bought this based on the reviews written here. My son loves this book. He has had a potty for a long time, but only became interested in sitting on it after reading this book. A few days later he actually started going in it! I think he was ready, but the book was a great catalyst. Lots of fun and very straightforward. I found some of the other books too abstract.

Summary: A hit so far!
Review: My 2yr old had no interest in Once Upon a Potty - I bought this book because of the fun pull tabs (it is not really a "pop-up" book). So far we have read it every night & I was even able to get him to sit on his potty(briefly!) last night.

Summary: Great interactive book...but easily destroyed by 2 yr. old!
Review: My daughter loved this book! The movable parts even made her demand her potty so that she could try the same movements as the book's character! In the first hour, though, she tore one of the tabs. Still, a fun and engaging book!

Summary: Pop-up fun
Review: My objective in purchasing this book for my two-year old daughter was to get her to overcome her fear of the potty, and to be more patient. Now she can sit and look at the book, while she sits on the potty.So far it is working quite well. My only criticism is that little kinds tend to rip the pop-up pictures and levers.

Summary: Great for both sexes
Review: My twins (boy and girl) love this book. The toddler pictured is pleasantly androgenous, which may bother some people, but not us. I think it's not good behavior for a boy to urinate standing up unless there's a urinal (too many "aiming" mistakes, even with grown men!), so having the character be sitting down is important. Charming and informational.

Summary: humorous and fun introduction to using the potty seat
Review: This 10-page pull-tab book is a funny introduction to using the potty seat. Cartoons of a little boy ask 'What do you do with a potty?' and 'What goes in the potty?' Pull-tabs show the boy pulling down his pants and sitting on the little seat, pulling out the toilet paper and emptying the pot into the big toilet. The mood is upbeat and fun, the format is engaging for children. Terms used are 'poopy' and 'tinkle'. Handwashing is not mentioned. This is a happy little book that should be used in conjunction with other, more informative books, such as Sears' "You Can Go To the Potty".

Summary: Not that important
Review: This is not the " must have" book out there. I didn't get along any better with potty training with this book.

Summary: An awesome book
Review: This is wonderful book before I got this book my daughter may have spent a total of ten minutes actually sitting on the potty. Since, I purchased this book she has since gone potty twice in the last week and won't leave the restroom until we have read it about five times or more. And she loves the litte lift tabs and pop-up parts which are on every page. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Great for both sexes
Review: This was our first potty book - a gift from Grandma. If you've spent any potty training time you know you've got to have patience while you wait...and wait...and wait. This book helped to pass the time. My daughter loved to lift the flaps and pull the tabs. Eventually she began to "read" it for herself. After two kids this book has seen better days (and lots of scotch tape). But hopefully it will make it through our third child! We have read almost every potty book available on the market as of 9/2003 (over two dozen!). Most fit into two categories: INSTRUCTIONAL books that introduce the skills needed to master the potty; and those that are primarily ENTERTAINING, for children who understand what is supposed to happen on the potty, but need extra time to make it happen. I think What Do You Do With A Potty fits more in the INSTRUCTIONAL category for the following reasons: 1) It identifies the purpose of the potty.
2) It specifies bodily functions ("poopy" and "tinkle" in this case)
3) Shows the transition from diapers to big kid underwear.
4) Includes the important steps such wiping, flushing, and hand washing. For other activity books on this same subject, try Let's Go Potty by Moira Butterfield or Sara's Potty by Harriet Ziefert. So what can you do with this book? Enjoy it again and again!
