That's not a potty - It's a jug!! - Rated
The only problem with this book is that the illustrations show an old fashioned potty, which my son insist is a jug!!

I would say that because of that, it wasn't helpful in training my already resistent son, as he knew I wouldn't let him poo in a jug - and played me like a fool!!!

So if you too have a smarty pants cheeky monkey, who feels in no rush to get dry, I can't really see this book helping you with potty training either (unless you use an old fashioned potty).

However, it is a great book which we do enjoy together all the time.
All other illustrations are great - It shows where the poo comes from and a poo in the potty - both of which my son loves.

American text annoying, but an excellent potty-training aid - Rated
This is a great book, and highly recommended to all new Potty Trainees. My little son really relates to Joshua, and his mummy.
Its a simple book, with lovely clear pictures, and a clear message. My son loves it, and frequently asks for it at bedtime, or when sitting on the potty.

I'd recommend it over almost any other potty book out there (and I've read every one I could find!).

Fantastic - Rated
My daughter Ida-Marie is born on the 23th of August 2004 and today the 2nd of April 2006 she sat on the potty and made a wee-wee for the first time. We have read the "Once upon a potty" for 2 weeks. She has been fascinated by the book from the first time we read it together. I am amazed. She is only 1 1/2 years old and completely focused on the potty and the little book about Prudence.
Thanx.

fab book my son loved it - Rated
This is a great book. It has great pictures and shows u a little boy on the potty. He most liked the poo in the potty. The only thing is it uses diper instead of nappie. i just changed this around for my son

This book worked for us ! - Rated
I cannot praise this book enough. Since reading the other reviews and purchasing it myself, my son has happily started using the potty for No2's where previously he wouldn't.

Its very true to life and as well as illlustrations showing poo in the potty it also covers a toileting accident too. Its very easy for my 2yr 8 months old to understand and he loves the book, so much so, I read it about 10 times a day.

As others have said it is written in American Language ie. diaper for nappy etc but you can change the words when you read it to ones you and your child are familiar with.
