Great Books, 2008-11-12
My Son loves this book. We had gotten the Book for girls at a yard sale and he constantly looked at that book. We love the one for boys just as much. He seems to relate to this book. He shows me the page and tells me all about it while he sits on the potty.

Fun Book, But Not What I'd Consider A Teaching Tool, 2008-09-09
I really enjoy reading "Once Upon A Potty" to my kids. It's rather direct and features gender-specific illustrations of the "parts" for boys and girls. This particular book features the male anatomy of little Joshua. Joshua's story gives children the confidence to sit and wait for something to happen, even if it doesn't feel like something will occur.

I personally don't consider this book a good teaching tool for potty training. While it's a fun story and does get rather specific about body parts, it doesn't teach little boys how to stand when urinating. As others have stated, the illustrated potty is a "wee" bit outdated as well.

Still, kids will have fun with this book and I do mildly recommend it. Some parents might think that terms like wee-wee, poo-poo and pee-pee are too childish for their children, but I think they're just fine for the little ones.

Potty Training, 2008-09-02
Once Upon a Potty -- Boy
This book is a classic! It is well written and geared toward little boys and their specific body parts related to potty training. I think it helps to teach our son about his body and elimination in an easy and simple way.

Pretty Good Book, 2008-08-31
I don't know if any one book actually helped get my son to potty train. I think it helped put the idea into his head though. Potty training is more difficult than I ever imagined, but I think we're getting there. I recommend this book though. Kind of odd drawings with pictures of the boy's rear end, but I guess kid's need to see it. Maybe.

Buyer's remorse, 2008-08-30
Do not purchase this book. I looked for a few books to get my son excited about potty training. I don't consider myself to be an ultra conservative type, but after the first few pages I was appalled. I've read this book to my son once. Even my 10 year old daughter was disgusted by the book when she heard me reading it to my son.

This book did not catch my son's attention, for many reasons - I am sure. The illustrations were very bland. The book reads more like a textbook (with the exclusion of proper names for body parts). I think the author was more worried about being gramatically correct then having a fun to read book with an enticing cadence. One last thing... How can we expect our child to relate to Joshua's potty experience when his potty looks more like a bowl, large planter or old school pitcher?
