Every little girl's graduation from diapers to the potty is always a very important moment aand one to make both parents and toddlers proud. In The Potty Book, Hannah needs to have her diapers changed so she can go out and play. Then mom and dad bring home a big box, and Hannah 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 girls 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 Hannah.

Why we chose this book

This book is an excellent resource for any parent going through the process of potty training their little girl. 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 girl to ask questions, which will allow you and she to discuss all the new experiences that go along with learning to use the potty.

This book helped my sister when she was potty training her girls. Trying to explain the process to them was daunting for her, but the book helped relate the subject in a way that the kids could understand.
