Review

How to pee with style is the question answered by author/doctor Spector who has recently potty trained his own son. This youngster loves to play dress-up and uses his many costumes while learning to use the potty. As a fire fighter putting out the fire, or an astronaut blasting off he is prepared.

This is a new and different approach to potty training, the book will make the intended audience laugh and might make potty training less stressful for the entire family. Some will take issue of the encouragement to pee outside and others may be offended by the somewhat sexist attitude toward sitting on the toilet. As a youth librarian I can attest that there are not enough books on this subject and would encourage adding it to public library shelves.
