Product Description
This playful account of a toddler's first potty experience (written from the child's point of view) is dedicated "to all the little ones . . . whenever you are ready." That same no-pressure attitude prevails throughout the sing-songy story of hesitation, trial, mishap, and success.

 This book is brilliant! August 18, 2005

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.
a great potty book! April 12, 2006

My son (2 years) has loved this book for months. In fact, our family has memorized it now, we have read it so many times. I like how it written on a child's level and emphasized that the most important part of the whole potty learning process is that the child feel good about his/her accomplishments!

Well we have a two year old that we are hoping to get potty trained very soon. He has his own potty...he knows how to sit on it and what it's used for. Now it's all about getting him to know when to use it. Karen Katz has been putting out wonderful books for babies and toddlers for so long that she was the natural choice when we were looking for a fun book to read about potty training.
With interactive gatefold flaps, this book addresses the perennial toddler issue of potty training. In a very realistic, child-appealing text, it describes how a gender-neutral toddler struggles to learn how to use the potty. As with her other books Karen has illustrated this lift the flap book with fun, colorful pictures that kids relate so well to. My son really gets a kick out of seeing the child sitting on the potty. Hopefully it will payoff very soon. Highly recommended!
Excellent Book February 13, 2007

My daughter loves Karen Katz's books. And this has been added to her list of favorites. She is 18 months old and I purchased it to introduce her to the concept of potty training (other than the coming into the bathroom with mommy technique). She enjoys the illustration and the stories and I've found that after a couple of readings, she actually wanted to sit on her own potty for an extended period of time. Before the book it was a 2 second sit.
I'm very pleased with this book.
A favorite in our house! September 20, 2006

This and "Once Upon a Potty" are my son's (age 2) favorites. It's a great potty book, and personally, I think it's a plus that it's unclear whether the child in the story is a boy or a girl - that just means either gender will easily be able to relate. As for whether it encourages toddlers to use the potty, I think it does. Whenever we read this, my son shouts "Diapers off!" and flies to the potty chair. One thing that's a real positive about this is that it's a bit long. That's been a help keeping my son sitting on the potty longer without being distracted by a toy or a noise or whatever. I'd highly recommend A Potty for Me for anyone looking to start or add to their potty training toolbox.
