In 1975, Alona Frankel wrote and illustrated her first book, especially for her son Michael, on how to use the potty. Thirty-two years later, Once Upon a Potty -- Girl and its companion, Once Upon a Potty -- Boy are the classic books on potty training. These children's books help parents everywhere deal successfully with an often vexing challenge for the whole family.
Thanks to its timeless words and beloved images, Once Upon a Potty -- Girl is being discovered and used by a new generation of parents.
In Once Upon a Potty Alona Frankel specifically focuses on girls who are learning to use the potty by themselves. With simple text and illustrations, it clearly explains the process. For years, this book has been a very effective tool for parents who might find the subject challenging to explain. Straightforward and calming, Once Upon a Potty is both a joy to read and very useful in explaining potty training to you little girl.
The book focuses on a topic that 2 year olds are beginning to think about. The story feels personal which will make the child more comfortable. There's even a place in the front where you can help your child write their name. By taking ownership of the book, they will feel more empowered to use the potty by themselves.
My sister started using this book with her daughters Audrey and Emily about six months before each girl was ready to be potty trained. By introducing them to these concepts very early on, it didn't take them quite as long to move away from diapers entirely. As your little one becomes more self-sufficient, they will become very engrossed in this book, and it will help them gain a better understanding of potty training.
