How to Pee: Potty Training for Girls
by
Out with the old and in with the new! Family physician Dr. Todd Spector presents a fresh and outrageously fun way to encourage little girls to give up their diapers. They can try it fresh-air style (in the backyard!), or use the potty with the help of a few props and plenty of imagination. Peeing in the potty is a lot more fun if you do it princess style, dance-party style

A summer camp begged me to read this to them. They thought it was hilarious.
A little girl talks about all the different ways to pee (princess, fairy, gymnast...) Might encourage some girls that are reluctant to use the potty.
Children's rating 4, mine more of a 3 so maybe a 3.5 ...more

A tiny bit of advice on how to toilet train, but otherwise slightly amusing illustrations of imaginative but impractical pee positions for girls.
Still unsure whether this picture book is for parents or children, or some weird hybrid.
Meh.

Since I trashed the How To Pee: Potty Training for Boys, I was waiting to see if the author/doctor would write one for girls. Well, he did. It's not as bad as the boys book and actually has some good advice. I guess since it's harder for girls to go outside and pee like boys there aren't many outside styles for the girls.
It is pretty sexist though. Even the books are sexist; pink for girls and blue for boys. Not every girl wants to be a princess or have tea parties, or be a ballerina. Some girls ...more

I didn't like the "boy" version of this book so I had low expectations but this one is even worse. Just like the other book, this book is not at all about how to actually recognize the need to pee and starting to use the toilet; this book is about making a fun game out of peeing. While the boys get to learn how to pee like a firefighter or an astronaut, the girls literally don't get any career-based ideas except maybe gymnastics. Girls get to learn how to pee "royal ball style" and "princess sty

Funny. How to pee like a pricess, how to pee like a witch. Trying to make potty training fun. (Because it's not.)

Laura finds this book hilarious and frankly I'll read anything to her that inspires peeing in the potty!

We read this book for Zohra as she is in training.
The boy version of this I can take, and I think it has true little boy appeal. The same little boys who learn to pee "cowboy" style or such will be howling at fart jokes and The Adventures of Captain Underpants in a few years.
But dear Dr Spector, not ALL little girls are into glow sticks and fairies and princess crowns, and I guarantee you that this book would have worked on neither of my lovely little offspring, who were into little of the girly stuff offered here.
They are now both, BTW, love ...more

Although I applaud the author and his wife for trying to take away the anxiety from children learning to use a potty and I'm glad there was a version of the book for girls, I didn't particularly see how all the drama and imaginative play would help the girls learn how to do so. In the same way he does in the earlier How to Pee: Potty Training for Boys, the author offers several scenarios for girls to use as they use the bathroom, including sitting on the throne like a princess or watering the pl

This book is HILARIOUS and the illustrations were even better! I believe that, if nothing else, families with little girls who are potty training will get a kick out of this book; a permanent smile on their face while reading it. As each child is different, there is no guarantee that this method will work for everyone, but even if it doesn't, it provides a great laugh and new way of looking at things. I also appreciated how there was "A Note to Parents" and "A Few Basic Rules" in the back of the

This book is a poser potty-training manual. In most of the illustrations, you wouldn't even notice that the little girl is on a potty or that the book is even about going to the potty. Potty training in style? Hmm. Most kids aren't looking for fabulous new ways to go potty, they just need to get down to business (pun intended). I much prefer the straight forward style of Once Upon a Potty or other let's-get-down-to-basics potty training books.

This book is really fun and engaging. My two year old loves it! When I read it I add the words "How to pee..." before each new section, as in "How to pee dance party style!" There are a lot of terrible potty training books out there, so this book is especially appreciated in our home.
