In this book, various characters are making fun of the joys of potty training. The issues that are addressed are regarding using the potty to; pee, poo, and claim royal status. The author also recognized and speaks to those with fear of using the potty at school or in a strange place and also issues in waiting on others. All are set to familiar tunes like, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", and "London Bridge is Falling Down". As similar to other works, the illustrator uses the same bright, cheerful and grose color choice that gives an inviting look for the reader.

I love this book and gave it a "Thumbs Up" because it adds humor to a sometimes very difficult challenge with small children, potty training. Trust me, anything you can do to make potty time fun will help you out in the long run. Older children will also enjoy this book for the rhyme and fun of taking about bathroom events.
