About this book
The little boy in this book is ready to start using a potty - it's time to swap his nappy for some big boy pants. Still, he could do with a little help. For instance: which colour pants should he choose?
Nobody gets it right first time, and the little boy has a little accident. Never mind! That’s OK. With patience, he will get there. After a bit of trying, he does a wee in the potty! Hurrah!
This accessible potty-training book has durable cardboard wheels to turn that help to illustrate the story, from making the water run out of the tap to seeing the toilet paper get longer and even to watching the flow of wee onto the floor when the little boy has an accident!
It’s a fun interactive feature that will capture the attention of little ones and help them focus on the subject of potty training as part of their growing awareness of how to transition from nappies to using the toilet.
Ania Simeone’s illustrations are bright and sweet, with relatable expressions in the little boy, normalising the everyday experience of potty training and making it accessible and friendly.
