| A toddler's graduation from diapers to the potty is always a very important moment--and one to make parents and toddlers proud! In this book, Hannah needs to have her diaper changed so she can go out and play. Then Mom and Dad bring a big box home, 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--which means it's time for Hannah to graduate from diapers. 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. So that at last, they'll be able to say: "I'm off to the potty, No more diapers for me! And I feel great, I am proud of ... ME! Here's a pleasant and effective new way to begin a child's toilet training. Barron's also publishes a potty book for a little boy, starring Henry. (Ages 1-4) |

I didn't totally understand why, but the week she made the transition, she asked us to read this book so many times - it wore us out (thankfully her grandma came in town and obliged her). But, she talked about getting hot pink panties like hannah... I guess it really is perfect for little girls and talks about the topic without it being "in your face" so to speak... It definitely worked for us!

I bought this book on a whim as we started the PT-process, mainly because it was cheap. Little could I have known it would be the leading help in my daughter getting the idea! She loved the book, loved that Hannah was independent with some things and learning some things (just like her), and sometimes had accidents while learning, also just like her. We read it so many times my daughter memorized it, and even though she's been potty-trained for nearly a year now, it's still one of her favorites!

When we began potty training my daughter, we got this book. While it didn't get her fully trained, it was helpful in explaining the process to her in a way she could understand. With the assistance of a doll that wets, we were able to get her fully potty-trained in no time. She nows shows the book to her baby dolls to help them learn how to go too.

On the advice from other reviewers, I bought this book to read to my daughter while potty training her. The illustrations are cute, and it runs through the basic potty-training topics (making mistakes, leaving behind diaper, getting excited about underwear). My daughter seems to like it, and is now at the point that she "reads" the book to herself while she's sitting on the potty alone, so I suppose from that standpoint, the book worked.
However, I have two main problems with the book which make me not recommend it highly. First, the cadence of the phrasing is awkward. It starts out okay, but then you feel like you're off a beat. I've tried adding/deleting small words to make it more "comfortable" to read out loud, but it doesn't work that well. Second, it uses poor grammar, which is inexcusable at a time when kids are trying their hardest to pick up grammar rules. It says " just march off to the potty like me and Teddy do". It's not even done to ensure it rhymes.
I suppose if you really don't care about grammar or cadence, then this book is fine, but if these things bug you, buy another potty book.
