Every princess needs her throne and this book is perfect for the little princess learning to use the potty for the first time!  With a playful, step-by-step story that introduces girls to the concept of using the toilet, Princess Potty is a royal lesson that everyone needs to learn.  Includes a punch-out tiara and reward stickers for the little princess-in-training!

Pirate Potty

With punch-out pirate’s hat and reward stickers!

Psst! Ahoy, matey!  Are you ready to learn a secret?

Shhhhh!  Come closer. Ready?

Even pirates use the potty!

Every pirate needs his captain’s chair and this book is perfect for the little pirate learning to use the potty for the first time!  With a humorous, step-by-step story that introduces boys to the concept of using the toilet, Pirate Potty is an adventurous lesson that everyone needs to learn.  Includes a punch-out pirate’s hat and reward stickers for the little pirate-in-training!

My Thoughts

With my toddler in full swing potty training (she seems to have slipped a bit in her progress recently) these books arrived just in time. She has developed this voice that tells me no she doesn’t have to potty, rather loudly I might add, and then she sneaks around the corner goes in her pull ups and then takes it off and runs around with no bottoms on! And now that I have read Princess Potty to her with its clever rhymes and illustrations mixed with my daughter’s desire to be a princess she has actually gone three times on her potty and has earned three “bling stones” as she calls them (thanks to my son) for her tiara. I love the concept of this book and the Pirate Potty is brilliant for little boys too. I am going to pass that one off to my sister. I recommend these books to everyone potty training their kids, they are a cute, fun way to help them learn to potty by themselves!

And now for the fun part, I have an exciting giveaway for this review and I am so happy that I am able to host this! You can see what yo can win below:

    My son is fully potty trained (he started by himself at 20 mths). I would keep these books for when the baby comes in case he decides to regress. They would also be great for when the baby is potty training.

  35. Stacie says:

    I would love to win this for my daughter. Right now she is in the stage where she can say the word potty and run to the bathroom and sit on her potty but I don’t quite think the connection of actually peeing in there is there. She has gone one time in it. The rest on my floor. She will take her diaper off when it’s wet. I hope it’s not long after this LOL.

    I would love to give the book to my niece, she potty trained herself at 16 months and now that she is 3 and a new baby brother has entered the family, she is not even close to trained anymore. I know that it is normal but it is also very frustrating for her parents. The book for the boy I would give to her little brother for when the time comes.
