Review

Though the illustrations are soft and appealing, the overall text and theme of the book is quite off-putting. This is a "potty book," however, the length would be a bit long for the average age of children who are potty training. There is also, within the text, the word "poo," several times which - and I understand rhymes with "loo" - is depicted by a series of cartoon animals all sitting on various chamber pots. I feel that this book should have left out the entire second half and it would have been considerably better and more appropriate.

Overall Book Score: poor
