Summary: Doesn't Last Long...
Review: 1. Bought the book new
2. Gave it to my daughter who loved the sound of the flush
3. Flush stopped in 2 days
4. emailed the publisher, pentonoverseas, stating the problem
5. they responded (!) stating they would send another (!) and the "flush" is designed to last "only 196 times" (!)
6. second book arrived and the flush lasted 1 day.
7. from a limited sample size I would confirm from actual testing that the flush indeed lasts "196 times."
8. would not buy again
9. recommed buying only used for a buck or less

Summary: Love it, but batteries died fast...
Review: My 20-month-old daughter had this book for 3 months now. She picked this book herself obviously because this one made flushing sounds. She still loves to flip thru the pages, although the batteries only survived the 1st month. There's no way she had pushed the flush button 196 times! I've been trying to find replacement batteries... So far the only ways are to have Radioshack order them in (you need two Vinnic button batteries No. L754), but they'll cost more than the book! Or you can buy "compatible" batteries on-line from places like batteries.com, batterymart.com... etc. I haven't placed any order yet since I'm afraid of getting batteries that's not fresh or not really compatible.
With the help of this book, and the demonstration of the Mattel/Fisher Price "Little Mommy Potty Training Doll", my daughter finally peed into her Graco Softseat Potty. Well... She's still not totally trained (for her it's just an alternate place to pee, other than in the diapers), but it was a big step for her that she finally produced something in a potty she owned and played with for 4 months prior.
Now back to the book. It's fun to read, and my daughter simply loves to sit on my laps and hear me read it. Now she also pretends to read it herself. However I don't understand and feel somewhat cheated that the publisher would choose to use specialty batteries that are so hard to find.

Summary: Great Potty-Training Book
Review: My daughter began trying to use the potty at age 2 1/2. We used several books to explain the process as well as a doll that wets. She soon got the hang of going on her little potty. This book, however, helped reinforce what she was doing and got her to move from the potty chair to the "grown-up" potty. FLushing the potty on the book was so much fun she couldn't wait to use the big potty to try it there too. She still likes to her the book and run through the process to confirm she knows how to do all those things like a "big girl".

Summary: Short and Fun
Review: This concise board book offers just enough instruction along with a dose of audience participation. My daughter likes to make the toilet flush. I like that it is short, so we're not still reading after my daughter has finished the "job."I agree the battery will wear out eventually, but I've had mine for over 6 months and it still works fine. (I hope I have not jinxed myself.)
