Potty by Leslie Patricelli is HILARIOUS! Your child will definitely be shouting out responses as you read this book. The main character is a gender-less baby and she/he explores whether or not to use the potty. The story walks through the sequence of using the potty and then at the end-a picture of delight when baby uses the potty independently. This is a great potty training starter book.
Big Boy Underpants by Fran Manushkin offers a light, positive approach to motivate little boys to become toilet-trained. Snappy, rhyming text and bright, quirky illustrations sound the perfect note to encourage toddlers who want to wear big boy underpants.
Big Girl Panties by Fran Manushkin is the counterpart to Big Boy Underpants. What could be more rewarding for a little girl than wearing big girl panties, just like mommy? Adult caregivers and toddlers alike will love the snappy, rhyming text and colorful, hip illustrations.
