Every little boy's graduation from diapers to the potty is always a very important momentaand 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.

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.

This book is an excellent resource for any parent going through the process of potty training their little boy. It contains cute illustrations and offers encouragement to your child about the sometimes difficult process of potty training.

There are lots of sweet illustrations that show familiar settings. The text is comprised of gentle rhymes, which make the subject approachable and not overwhelming. The book also provides an opportunity for your little boy to ask questions, which will allow you and him to discuss all the new experiences that go along with learning to use the potty.

My friend recently potty trained her son, Victor. At first, she was not too keen about all of the books with this theme. Even so, she and read this book together, and he really connected with the story as well as the subject matter. Both of them were pleased to get such great results out of this cute little book.
