Again! Again!

Great book. The fold out pages keep my daughter involved while I'm reading the book. She loves it! We have to read it over & over & over...

A Great Book

My son loves this book. We have just started potty training and the book has interactive flaps for children to look under. It's a nice story about being proud of all efforts that surround potty training!

my kid loves it!

I introduced this book to my daughter at a year and a half with her own little potty. She has always loved books so this was an easy choice for me. She loves the ending where the child says "I'M SO PROUD OF ME!" It encourges that the child should feel a sense of accomplishment from inside and not from their parents. I also liked that it acknowledged accidents and that its ok to have trial and error. My daughter is two now and whenever she uses the potty she points to herself and shouts the ending!

My daughter likes it but . . .

I'm giving this book 3 stars because my daughter has always loved Karen Katz books and this one is no exception. She also shows interest in using the potty after we read it. However. I feel like the book is confusing to her and sends a mixed message because it spends so many pages talking about how the child in the story has no interest in the potty or tries to use the potty unsuccessfully before she finally has success. Once. I realize that those aspects happen in real life but I think it's too much for a 2-year-old to follow along with the concept. She needs a more simple, clear message: sit on the potty, use it, hooray!

Not impressed, like my other Karen Katz better

This is one of the 2 first Karen Katz books I got and I was rather disappointed, after reading so many raving reviews, I expected more. I find the pictures a little oversized for the page - she closes up on the child on the potty so much, that I am not sure my daughter always understands that the baby is actually on the potty, which kind of defeats the purpose. Also, the text feels a little awkward - it sorta rhymes, but just when you get into it, it stops rhyming.
It also failed to produce the miracle - my daughter still is not interested in potty. :-) But I guess I won't hold that against Karen Katz.
But mostly, it's the reading value - of the 4 books purchased, including Karen Katz's Counting Kisses, my daughter reaches for this one the least often, although it was the most expensive book.
