Format:Board book
This is a wonderful book for introducing your little ones to using a potty. The hard-wearing cardboard figure on the front page is attatched by a strap to the book, but can be removed and inserted into each page. The book speculates on several rather funny uses for a potty, before showing its' real use on the last page. Here, the baby figure is inserted the other way around into a cut-out shape so he/she sits on the potty. Very clever! My eighteen month-old loved it!

I am afraid I was quite disappointed with this book. I bought it when my son was 18 months and was starting to show signs of being ready for potty-training. I thought this book would help me get across the message of what the potty was for, but unfortunately it didn't. The story is about a toddler who has a potty but does not know what it is for, so she uses it as a storage box for her toys, a bowl for her dog's food and as a boat. On each page we find the potty being used for the wrong things, and it is only the last page which shows the little girl sitting on it, but that's it. No further explanation or cheering at the fact that she is finally using the potty properly. My son never took much notice of this book. I found "Pirate Pete's Potty", which I bought together with this one, a lot more educational and also much more appealing to my son.

Good book, but could be better

I love idea of the book. It's a thick board book, so easy for coarse motor skills, and the story is simple and fun. BUT the baby is only cardboard. The first time I read this with my 6 month old on her potty, she loved it and stuffed the cardboard baby in her mouth. By the end of the potty session, the cardboard baby had already lost half the color on one side and the edges were swollen. The first time using it!!! The baby should be plastic or wood, not paper. I'm going to probably make a new baby out of wood, that can take more abuse, because I like the book otherwise.
UPDATE: I made a replacement baby out of wood and this book is my 11-month-old baby's favorite book out of all her books! I like it a lot now that the baby is sturdy. It's geared towards actual babies more than any other potty training book I've seen.
At 15 months, we retired this book for fear that our daughter would get bad ideas about playing with her potty. We replaced it with Begin Smart Lily's Potty and I Go Potty! (Rookie Toddler) which are both simple straightforward stories, don't belabor diapers and being unsure and accidents, and cover handwashing. If I were to get only one book for a young potty trainer, it would be Lily's Potty / Pete's Potty.

my little baby loves this book

I bought this book when my boy was about 3 months old because we EC. The baby looks alot like him, and we also have a little red potty that looks like the one in the book. I show it to him when he's going potty. He smiles when I get it out. Sometimes we don't have it with me, I'll start reciting it and he gets a kick out of that. I was impressed when he stopped trying to eat the baby and instead tries to put the puzzle piece back on the page and really seems to enjoy it. It's a short and simple book but we've gotten alot out of it!

Waste of money!

Do not buy this book if you expect your child to learn something. Also, the puzzle piece baby illustration is very annoying. It even covers up words you are trying to read. Only a couple of lines actually teach kids what the potty is for. I am VERY SORRY I wasted money on this book.
