Dora's Potty Book. by Melissa Torres

sweet narration teaches toilet training

We were having a difficult ime with my grand daughter being willing to use the potty each time. She loves Dora so when I saw this book I bought it for her. The only time she can read it is if she is on the potty and she hasn't had an accident since.

This is a nice book, no matter what stage of potty training your child is in. The illustrations of Dora when she is little are cute. Dora explains how when she was little, she wore diapers. Dora notices that big kids and grown-ups went into a room that made a flushing sound. Her mommy explains that bigger kids use the potty. Then her Mami and Papi gives her potty SEAT. (This is interesting because it's the kind that sits on top of the toilet. Most books introduce a potty chair. It may be important to parents who want their kids to learn on the toilet and not a potty chair.) Dora says, "First I had to learn when it was time to go. Sometimes that was hard to do, but other times I made it just in time!" and soon after says, "I practiced a lot, and soon I started using the potty all by myself. Then it was time for my first pair of big-girl underwear". "Now I'm a big girl who goes on big adventures! I wear big-girl underwear; and I use the bathroom just like all the big kids and grown-ups. Soon you'll use the potty like a big kid too. And then you'll be ready for any adventure." The book has a button to press to hear the flushing sound of a toilet. You and your child will enjoy this book!

My daughter (22 months) loves this book and I'm sure it will be a big help when we actually start training.

My 2 year old daughter loves Dora, so this was a must for me in the pursuit of potty training. I usually keep it in the bathroom so she can look at it while she's on the potty and wanting to do anything but go potty. We are still a work in progress with the potty training. This was not the magic bullet I had hoped for, but I guess I was being unrealistic. My same little pumpkin who recorgnizes almost every alphabet is being very resistant about potty training. But, I can tell that she understands the book and likes it, so I would still recommend it.

My husband and I bought this book for our 18 month old daughter because she loves Dora and we're starting to talk about potty training. We bought it three days ago and we've read it about ten times to her. At the moment she just loves it because it's Dora, but hopefully in time; once she gets closer to understanding the whole potty training thing, it'll serve a helpful purpose. There's a little button that kids can push that makes a toilet flushing sound. She can't quite push it yet so we have to do it for her.
