A toddler’s graduation from diapers to the potty is always a very important moment–and one to make parents and toddlers proud! In this book, Henry needs to have his diaper changed so he can go out and play. Then Mom and Dad bring a big box home, and Henry is anxious to open it up and see what’s inside. Is it a rocking chair? A bed for Teddy? No, it’s a potty–which means it’s time for Henry to graduate from diapers. This gentle and humorous little story is charmingly illustrated and told in verse. Little boys will enjoy looking at the pictures and having the story read to them. Meanwhile, they’ll start getting the idea that it’s time for them to grow up, exactly like Henry. So that at last, they’ll be able to say: “I’m off to the potty, No more diapers for me! And I feel great, I am proud of … ME! Here’s a pleasant and effective new way to begin a child’s toilet training. Barron’s also publishes a potty book for a little girl, starring Hannah. (Ages 1-4)

My son loves this book, so I can’t really give it a “bad” review. He loves the illustrations (especially the one where Henry has had an accident on the floor). But I wish that it was a little more ‘instructional’ for him. The book never discusses some really important elements of potty training, like wiping afterwards or washing hands. The cover of the book shows Henry playing with the toilet paper roll, but never shows toilet paper inside the book and never once mentions what toilet paper is actually for. I guess this is a good book for very beginning children who just need to be introduced to the very basic elements of just sitting on the potty.

This is a cheery poem about a boy named Henry who is learning to use the toilet. He uses a separate potty seat rather than a toilet insert, and the book uses the terms pee and poop. There were a couple of things I didn’t like about the book — in one picture Henry is brushing his teeth and has toothpaste squirted all over and a bowl of oatmeal on his head! This is distracting. In another picture urine is in a big puddle on the floor when Henry’s had an accident. In yet another, Henry’s pants are wet after he had another accident. I guess I feel I can reassure our toddler if there are accidents; I’d like the book to stay on message and show a positive and successful experience. Also, as in most other books of this genre, there is little show-or-tell about the actual anatomy or mechanics. This book isn’t terrible and our son likes it, I just don’t think it has helped much.

Was so surprised and pleased at the cute pictures in this book and the diversity it covers compared to other potty books. Very pleased with the heavy weight pages, close to board book durability. It does not heavily focus on boys except you follow a boy throughout.. there are no standing pictures if that is what you are looking for. Still it held my son’s attention and made him laugh. Great size to hold on a potty too!Highly recommend!

Our son just turned 2 but has been showing signs of being ready to potty train for some time. We haven’t pushed it at all, but after ordering this book for him, he’s decided to start using his potty. At first he’d only sit on it with the lid down and his clothes on. Then with the potty lid up, and last night, he actually used his potty! While reading the book: We have developed a little game of looking for Henry’s (the character in the book) diaper on each page of the book, which he really enjoys. We also laugh and clap for Henry when Henry uses his potty. This books is very cute, and the rhyming text grasped our sons attention from the very beginningBeware though, if you get to read it as often as we do… you may find yourself repeating it throughout the day! Considering my sons complete defiance against the potty before we got this book and a potty seat for him (we originally had bought a toddler size toilet seat which he hated), and his total acceptance and excitment about using the potty now, I would be inclined to say that this book will help nearly ANY little boy with potty training!
