On Top of the Potty: On Top of the Potty

Our family is really enjoying this book. My two year old loves to "explain" the songs to me. Lots of fun!

My two year old has been singing the tunes for a year and never gets bored with them. Still starts chanting when she sits down on the poo pot. Makes up her own versions, too. Makes potty fun for parents of toddlers who are frustrating because they like to hold it for hours.

I've gotten to checking out the books in this series from the local library first and seeing if they stick before buying them. This one's fairly new, however, and they don't have it yet, but timing was an issue. We're in the midst of potty-training and I got it so we would have some entertainment while waiting for *something* to happen (if you know what I mean, and if you're a parent in a similar situation, I think you do). Didn't take long before the songs became part of our regular repertoire. My poor wife now has to sit through two males belting out songs about pooping on the neighbor's stoop, etc. Good thing she has a sense of humor. One thing the songs do is turn light-hearted something that is stressful for children of that age, but I imagine it depends much on their sense of humor. If your child likes the other Katz/Catrow books, odds are they'll like this one too.
