We loved this one for potty training. Have read it so many times. Used it on all 3 kids, eldest being 9 now. They were all potty trained before turning 2 and this book helped out.
Fun book. Cute pictures

We have read this a million times since this summer. G loves all the books by this author that he has read and this is his all-time favorite potty book. It's important to have a favorite potty book! He gets very invested in the protagonist baby's adventures figuring out whether or not to use his potty, and when he finally does, G gets super excited and yells YAY while clapping enthusiastically. It helps that that page has stars (he loves stars) all over it and it says "I DID IT!" which is one of

Highly recommend. It’s the first book my daughter read out loud on her own...while sitting on the potty.
A favorite in our house!
My son loves to read this on the potty. Great for toilet training.
Words cannot express how phenomenal this masterpiece is. The most exquisite works of literature pale in comparison to "Potty". Everything in this book-from its name to the illustration, "Potty" is truly brilliant.

Well written, entertaining, and comedy gold, this masterpiece is bound to bring joy to people of all ages!
Excellent.
An extremely helpful and adorable book when my daughter was potty training. Cute illustrations.
This book is fantastic, especially when paired with the YouTube Video of it. It really helps bring the story to life.
The simplistic text allows even my four year old to retell the story to my 2 year old.

Patricelli's books are so darn cute. Elliott just LOVES the baby featured in many of her colorful board books, probably because of his adorable mug and because she can relate so well to his antics. This is the one potty book she has really fallen in love with, and makes us read again and again while she sits there so cute on her OWN potty. In fact, we were reading this one that one amazing day when she - just like the character she loves - actually peed in her little toilet!

Mama bought it for me for potty training
I think this book is FUNNY. When I choose this book from the shelf, I love to look at the page where the little kid says, "Bye, bye diaper." I ask my Mama and Papa, "Why does he say, 'bye-bye' to his diaper?" Then I start to laugh and laugh. I also like to sit with this book when I am on my potty chair. It has a great balance of text to picture ratio for a toddler. I love the simplistic drawings. Most of all, I am so excited that the kid in the story goes potty and everyone celebrates.

Mommy only reads this to me while I'm sitting on my toilet, because it's a special book about learning to use the toilet. If I go to the toilet without it, I always get up and run around and find it and then come back, because I like to read it. Did you know the baby in the story is also reading a book about pottying while the baby tries to potty?

Note we are NOT actively potty training and probably won’t (unless we end up in one of those “school requires it” situations), as we’re trying to wait for our son to be ready when he’s ready. We’re just introducing the concept.
Overall: adorable; great illustrations; handles the concept well. And, I mean, c’mon, who wouldn’t love the “tinkle, tinkle, toot” page!?
The book’s main theme is behavior modification (potty training), but it treats it pretty respectfully. No one coerces baby to use the po ...more

The author knows her audience well. Our daughter can't stop flipping through this one, and she squeals every time we imitate the pee-pee dance sound effects. The first night it arrived, she made her mommy read it to her eight times in a row, and she laughed with delight every single time. Whether or not it will benefit her as she is beginning to explore the real-world potty remains to be seen, but it certainly can't hurt, and her absolute joy in reading the book, even flipping through it by hers

This is a very short book about potty training. I love that it has a lot of pictures. The baby is trying to figure out where he should go to bathroom at because he doesn’t want to go in his diaper. Finally, he figures out where to go and is able to use his potty. I like that there aren’t very many word on the pages. My 10 month old is more interested in flipping the pages in books right now, so it’s nice to not have to read extremely fast before I have the page flipped on me.
This book is amazing for younger kids ages 2-3. This helps the younger kids get interested in using the toilet on their own. This book is very simple and have good visual pictures. The children at my work love it and want it to be read to them 2-6 times. You can add your own words and ask the kids question while reading the book including like where does the dog go potty and should you go potty in your diaper? It's simple but you can celebrate learning to go potty as shown in the book.

Our son loves Leslie Patricelli books. He does like Toot a little bit more than Potty. However, once he starts potty training, this one may be more beneficial. Super cute. Our LO cheers on the second to last page when the baby is successful using his chair, and when he gets his undies on the last page.
I enjoy this book a lot because its a book to have for a tool. I remember reading this book to my kids in my classroom and to help them learn a lesson. This book would be a great book to use for a lesson especially with a younger group.
Leslie Patricelli's books are beloved by toddlers. My grands want to read this one over and over because the humor and endearing illustrations help them see themselves. This particular story assists with toilet training as toddlers view the hardships and rewards of using a toilet.

This was a cute and fun and goofy board book, perfect for the process of potty training. It's guaranteed to get a couple of giggles, and the artwork is simple and bright and matches the overall tone of the book, with funny facial expressions. 4/5 stars.

My daughter which I'm writing this review in her behalf was two years old when she started reading this book, she liked it a lot and it did help her during her first steps in potty learning. One point was confusing to her is that she adore dogs so much and she wanted doggy to potty like her.

I’m still not quite going to the potty, but I love to read about it! I know this book by heart and love to read it over and over again. Mommy even got me the little bald baby doll to hug while reading.
I love Patricelli's art style. This cute baby decides he doesn't want to go in his diaper anymore. We had a really rough time with potty training TJ, and I don't know if this book helped in any practical way (the baby has way more patience than TJ ever did) but it's still a fun one.

I really like this book! I live the simplicity of the illustrations and words. I feel like it makes using the potty easy to understand. We're about to start potty training with our son and I'm hoping this book will be an asset.

This book was so helpful when starting potty training. The only potty book that kept my kids interested and wanting to use the potty like the baby!
