Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreS–A pleasant and fairly innocuous addition to an already crowded field, this rhymed book with reinforced pages uses color cartoon illustrations of a child of indeterminate gender who tries, with mixed results, to use the potty. The upbeat text employs expressions like That's okay! and Yeah! I really did it! If you already own Lara Jones's I Love My Potty (Scholastic, 2002) or Harriet Ziefert's Max's Potty and Sara's Potty (both DK, 1999; o.p.), you probably have enough on the subject. But if you need a new title (and remember, there's only so much that's possible in a book of this type), this one will serve its purpose.–Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NY

Book Description
Mommy got me a brand new potty!
But I'm not ready yet!
I want to run and play.
Uh-oh, I peed in my pants.
But Mommy says, "That's okay!"
Children will love following along and lifting the flaps to see the child play, sit on thepotty, eat, sit on the potty, sleep, and then sit on the potty...until finally there is success.
Written from a child's point of view, this new potty-training book will help children join in the final refrain, "I'm so proud of me!"

Excellent book,

This review is from: Potty Book for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual (Hardcover)
My oldest daughter received this book as a gift and loved to read it. We read it regularly while she was potty training and she actually memorized the book at 2 1/2 years old. My other 2 daughters are enjoying it as well. I would highly recommend this book.

kids love it, but not perfect,

We have every Karen Katz book, 2 girls love them. This one is a favourite, my only issue is that the cadence falls off incertain points, and I find myself ad-libbing to make the rhyme fit correctly. Disappointing from such a talented author.

This book is brilliant!,
By Pizor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Potty Book for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual (Hardcover)
I bought this book along with two others for my 18 month old simply to introduce the concept of the potty to her. The first book I bought was called My First Potty Book and it was pretty bad. The second one I bought was Once Upon a Potty which is excellent, but a little too advanced for my daughter. Then I bought A Potty for Me which was perfect. The pictures are big and colorful and the amount of text on each page is perfect for a short attention spanned little girl, not to mention the story is very sweet and well written. The pacing is just right. It doesn't simply tell you how to use a potty, but goes into the anxiety a child might have as well as the trying and geting it wrong and the practicing and then the trying and getting it right.My daughter asks me to read this book to her over and over again, every night. As for the lift the flap concept, it's not exactly what you would expect. It's more like a page that folds out to another page. Picture a storybook with a centerfold on each page. I guess that's the easiest way of describing it. That little piece of interaction helps keep the little ones' attention. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. 60 of 60 people found the following review helpful

Cute but...,
By rain4me - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Potty Book for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual (Hardcover)
This is pretty cute...especially if you love Karen Katz illustrations! I took the idea of wrapping our 2 year old's potty chair like a present so she could relate to the beginning of the book :) However, I found a few phrases to contradict the goal...so I change some of the words. Like, instead of saying "this potty's not for me" I say "the potty waits for me" and instead of "I still don't think I can" I say "I wonder if I can" just to take the negative implication out. I understand why she wrote it like that...to embrace the rollercoaster experience of potty training and it IS true. However, I didn't want to take a chance that our head strong daughter would go around saying "the potty's not for me" as it's already her tendency to put up a fight!

Not To Sure About This Book,
By galvenusluvshouston - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Potty Book for Me!: A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual (Hardcover)
Let me first mention that I am a huge fan of Karen Katz's books. However, this book was a big disappointment. Instead of teaching the child how to use the potty, the story contradicts using the potty. The child in the book spends most of the time rejecting the potty. This book basically confused my child and I stop reading it. The illustrations are great, but the story indicates that this particular child is not ready to use the potty. The lack of encouragement and motivation of potty training in this story is not great at all.
