We started reading this book during the early stages of potty training, and it turned out to be a surprisingly effective conversation starter. The concept is simple but engaging — it shows different animals and where they go potty, which naturally leads to the idea of where people should go. The illustrations are bright, playful, and easy for toddlers to follow. My child stayed interested through the whole book and even asked to read it multiple times. It keeps things light and humorous, which helps reduce some of the pressure or awkwardness that can come with potty training. The board book format is sturdy and holds up well to repeated use, which is important with toddlers who like to flip pages quickly. It’s also short enough that it works well as part of a bedtime routine or quick reading before bathroom time. One small downside is that the story is fairly simple, so older toddlers who are already comfortable with potty training might outgrow it quickly. Also, because of the topic, it may prompt a lot of giggling and potty humor — which can be either a pro or a con depending on the situation. Overall, it’s a fun, approachable potty training book that makes the topic less intimidating for little ones and encourages positive discussions about bathroom routines. Read more
My toddler loves this book. I got it right before we started potty training. We used the last page with the child in the bathroom to talk through using the potty, pretending to knock on the door before pulling the tab. My son was extremely easy to potty train and never had any problems pooping in the toilet. I credit this book for normalizing it. I recommend it to anyone potty training! Read more
This book is kinda funny. Shows all kinds of animals poop and at the end shows a toddler on a potty. The slide out pics are easy for a toddler to use once they know where they are. Using to help potty train a friends little girl. They can also learn some animals too! Read more
This is a very cute, hilarious, and entertaining book! My toddler is very particular about his books, and he was completely engaged with this one from start to finish. The interactive pull tabs that make the animals “pee and poop” are absolutely hysterical! My son has also been diagnosed with ASD, and after reading this book, he’s now able to verbalize that people poop in the potty. Such a big milestone! I’d highly recommend this book for potty training. Read more

This book is nice and sturdy, and the perfect size for my toddler. She loves looking at all the different animals and mom and dad think it’s hilarious! Time will tell if it actually helps her poop on the potty, but it’s still a great introduction! Read more
Is this book going to win any awards for being an example of stellar literature for young growing minds? Nope. But does it engage and amuse children who are adjusting to pooping on the potty? Absolutely. I don’t have a miracle story like some of the reviews here. Buying this book didn’t suddenly fix my toddler’s aversion to pooping on the potty. But it was still a great way to normalize poop, and was a fun addition to the book basket I keep in the bathroom. Read more
