Big Girls Use the Potty!

We bought this book for our 2 1/2 year old daughter about 6 months ago and she fell in love with it. It is her first book about using the potty and she really likes it.
The text is in rhyme and it uses photographs of children and a teddy bear on different styles of potties. I like the photo's better than drawings as it makes it more realistic.
The girl in the story is teaching her teddy bear how to use the potty and if he can do it so can she.
My daughter had this book quickly memorized and 'reads' it to her own stuffed animals. She recognizes that it's ok to have accidents and theres no shame in it.
It's a great book to plant the seeds of using the potty. It also comes with reward stickers for when your child uses the potty.

The pictures are photographs, which is what I wanted, but throughout the entire book (other than the cover!) the little girl is putting her teddy bear on the potty. This may cause an issue if the child only wants to put their bear on the toilet instead of themselves. I wanted my daughter to see another toddler using the potty, not a teddy bear. Fisher Price makes a great one with photographs. On the second page the little girls does let her bear practice once, but throughout the rest of the book she is the one using the potty. I'd go for that one, instead.

We happily place this book in our bathroom for our little gal. We like these things about it:
-subject is a real girl, not an abstract cartoon; Our daughter can relate to her and is really outspoken about wanting to be a "big girl" like Molly.
-the stickers are really cute & she gets a reward for each time trying to potty & works diligently to get those special teddy bear stickers at the end of each row
-the stickers are plentiful (great because her brother peeled a few off & we can replace them w/o consequence)
-the overall tone of the book is fun
-the length of the book is good: not too long that she gets bored w/ it but not too short that she doesn't have sufficient time to read it and allow "things to happen" ;)
There are a few potential problems however, depending on how important you might feel the following aspects:
-the potties they show are all kid potties, basically the same style. We're not using a kid potty at all, so I read...Read more
