An insightful glimpse into the timeless dilemma as to what to do with a pee or a poo life lessons well learned 10/10 would recommend

I remember my parents reading this book to my brothers …
I remember my parents reading this book to my brothers and I. They claim that all they had to do was read it once or twice, and we were potty trained – maybe a fluke but I’ve heard the story enough times to buy copies for the children of friends.

My 2 year old loves it
Yes, the pictures are a bit outdated. Yes, the author uses “wee-wee” for penis. But it says right in the front that she recommends parents replace any words she has chosen for terms you, the parent, would rather use. (You don’t HAVE to read a book exactly as the author wrote, you know).Also, the white ceramic pot looks just like the white plastic pot that is inside our Safety 1st potty chair that I bought in May, 2004. Just take apart the potty and show it to your child.

I highly recommend it. It would make a great gift
Our two and a half year old son loves the book and I think it has helped speed up potty training. I highly recommend it. It would make a great gift.

My two year old grandson loves this book. He will be potty training soon so I bought this book for him. He wants to read it all the time.

An adorably illustrated and written book for potty training. So colourful and my little boy loves it. Good quality book.

　トイレトレーニングを進めるためにも役立つ本です。子供だけではなく母親にとっても。赤ちゃんだった主人公（ジョシュア）がすっかり幼児らしくなった頃、オマルがプレゼントされます。好奇心いっぱいのジョシュアは、そのオマルでいろいろ想像します。そしてトイレトレーニングが開始されますが、なかなかうまくいきません。そしてついにすっかり上手にオマルにするようになるという、ごく普通の風景が簡単な英語とシンプルな絵で描かれています。でもこの作品は子供、しかも男の子の母親になったことのある人にしか描けないでしょう。事実しか描かれていないのですが、トイレトレーニングにあたって、読者の子供は自分と重ねて楽しみ、母親はおおらかな気持ちになれます。　この絵本の中で、母親は㡊??つも微笑んでいます。でもオムツ換えのときに上を向いたり、子供がトイレした後のオマルを持ってきて見せたときに手を顎の下に置いていて、微妙な感情が描かれていると思いました。オムツ換えのときジョシュアがマザーの髪を引っ張ったりするしぐさや、オマルにまたがっている後姿は、シンプルだけど良く描かれていて、自分たちとも重なって、感動に似た共感を覚えます。
