great illustrations
The illustrations are the greatest thing about this book. Story is very simple and almost lacking a little. It is a good one of the 4 potty training books I have. Each book has it's own strenght and they all work well together to get the messages across.
Beautiful illustrations but disappointing book
Love the illustrations but there are so many hidden messages about potty training in the book that a young potty trainer would never understand. My son enjoys the book, but can't possibly understand what it's trying to teach. He's almost potty trained (at 21 mos), but not from help of this book.
Good book
This is a good book for kids who like trains. It does have one area that talks about not staying dry but overall it is positive towards using the potty.
the potty train is a winner
our two year old daughter loves the potty train. she was showing all the signs of being ready for the potty but this was the book that turned theory into practice. she loves to sit on her potty with the book in her lap and a big "choo choo" as things started to happen. a wonderful book, very engaging for small children. our six year old even liked it, especially the last page (and i aint going to spoil the surprise for you). i would highly recommend this book for anyone with a child ready to take the next step in life's great adventure.
Outstanding book for Little Boys that LOVE trains!
This is an absolutely wonderful book! We read it every night for a week, and one day our 21 month old son declared he wanted to "ride potty train". A success! It's a great way to get children excited about the potty, reduce any fears, and make it a fun way to visit the bathroom (we keep ours in a basket by the potty).
It's light-hearted and beautifully illustrated. A must-have for any child (especially boys since this is the featured character) that loves trains.
