    Publisher's Note
    <P>This best-selling book-and-doll package includes a newly designed Joshua or Prudence doll and potty, paired with the Once Upon a Potty picture book.</P> <BLOCKQUOTE><I>Just like you, Joshua has a body, and this body has many nice and useful parts:<BR>A head for thinking<BR>Eyes for seeing<BR>Ears for hearing<BR>A mouth to talk and eat with<BR>Hands for playing<BR>A pee-pee for making Wee-Wee<BR>Legs for walking and running<BR>A bottom for sitting and in it a little hole for making Poo-Poo</I></BLOCKQUOTE>Potty talk has long been considered taboo in conversation--even between parent and child. Thankfully, Alona Frankel presents toilet training in a frank, open way for parents and children. Available in both <I>Girl</I> and <I>Boy</I> formats, <I>Once Upon a Potty</I> books are best used as companion volumes to a child's new potty. <blockquote><P> Dear Fellow-Parents,<BR><BR><I>Once Upon a Potty</I> is best used as a companion volume to a child's new potty. I wrote this book when my own child was toilet training to help him better understand the process. My son was encouraged and excited by this story. It motivated him to make the developmental leap from diaper to potty. </P><P>Learning to use the potty is often a lengthy process, taxing the patience of both parent and child. When success finally comes--and it should come in its own good time, without undue pressure or haste--it enhances the child's confidence and pride. He has taken another step toward independence. He sat on the potty as a little child and got up feeling ten-feet tall. </P><P>It's one small step for mankind, but a giant one for your family.</P><P> Love,<BR>Alona</P></blockquote>

    This is a very good potty training book for boys. (There is a girl version available also.) The language is frank (although not crude) which is necessary for a child of the age who is potty training to understand. It is reasuring and at times funny. There is an entire page of "and sat and sat and sat and sat and sat....." The potty in the book looks more like an old chamber pot than a modern children's potty, but the potties in the store look different from each other, too. We talked about this and it didn't confuse my child. He just found it interesting. Some of the words such as "wee-wee" are not words that we use, but we just substituted the words we use when reading the story. I would recommend this book.

    ALL my kids have used this book

    Created: 02/09/08
    I have had this book for all 5 of my childern. Boys & Gils versions are great. All body parts are pointed out. it is a little graphic but so is potty training. It is important to know all about these things. The book shows accidents happen and trying agian and agian. I dont like the part where the child takes the potty to mommy but i just skip that page because I do not want my kid running around with his poo in the potty to show me. Overall a great book to introduce the idea of potty training and to read while in the bathroom..trying to go.

    Great book for Potty Training

    Created: 02/12/06
    I have a 2 year old son who is opposed to using the potty. I can't say that we have started using the potty since reading this book but it definetly has opened up a new subject of conversation. Something that was scary to him before has now become a thing to look forward to. He has gained more interest in the potty but still not sure about using it. I think that the more we read this book the more open he is becoming to the idea. I think this is a great book for starting to talk about using the potty and what body parts boys use to go potty. I would recommend this book.
