Books about potty training help to introduce the subject and engender a child's enthusiasm for the process. Classics like Alona Frankel's Once Upon A Potty or Taro Gomi's Everyone Poops are continually joined by new titles looking to bring a compelling and inventive spin to potty time.
Readers sang the praises of Time To Pee by Mo Willems when we pulled together our potty training book roundup. Parents rave that the success chart and stickers are effective motivators.
How To Potty Train Your Monster by Kelly S. Dipucchio features colorful illustrations by Michael Moon. The step-by-step guidelines get a laugh out of kids and bring levity to the process for parents, who will find resonance in advice to make sure that their monster is ready and never leave them alone with the toilet paper roll.
Leslie Patricelli's Potty will be released next month. The board book follows the deliberations as Patricelli's sweet baby asks, "Should I go in my potty?"
What potty training books are you reading with your kids?




Sprout Side Table
A Potty for Me by Karen Katz
Lift-the- flap: very popular at my house
Also it is low-pressure - if you just try that is just as good as going.
I had intended to get some potty training books, but never had the need for them in the end. We showed our son those 2 rather kooky Japanese toilet training videos (they're on YouTube) -- one for pee, the other for poop -- and they did the trick. Our son was toilet trained in a couple of days...
We just checked out How to Potty Train Your Monster from the library today! Very amusing. We have one my two year old loves called Go Girl, Go Potty. It's a very cute lift the flap story.
We are big fans of Pirate Pete's Potty by Andrea Pinnington in this house. My son adores hitting the cheer button and the text is engaging for him and fun to read.
We used My Big Boy Potty. It was cute, yet realistic. Our son really liked it.
Whats with the dollhouse pictures?
I looOOOOooove Leslie Patricelli's books!
