This clear and simple book has been a favorite among parents and toddlers for decades. There are versions for boys and girls, each with age-appropriate anatomical descriptions. The simple illustrations show everything, too, even the poop. — Marygrace Taylor ― What to Expect Published On: 2020-05-06

Product Description
The classic books on a timeless subject — for a new generation.
In 1975, Alona Frankel wrote and illustrated her first book, especially for her son Michael, on how to use the potty. Thirty-two years later, Once Upon a Potty — Boy and Once Upon a Potty — Girl are the classic books on potty training and have sold more than four million copies worldwide. These children’s books help parents everywhere deal successfully with an often vexing challenge for the whole family.
Thanks to their timeless words and beloved images, Once Upon a Potty — Boy and Once Upon a Potty — Girl are being discovered and used by a new generation of parents. These two books, with their phenomenal staying power, target and meet the needs of an obviously perpetual market.

Dear Fellow-Parents,
Once Upon a Potty is best used as a companion volume to a child’s new potty. I wrote this book when my own child was toilet training to help him better understand the process. My son was encouraged and excited by this story. It motivated him to make the developmental leap from diaper to potty.
Potty talk has long been considered taboo in conversation — even between parent and child. Thankfully, this attitude is changing, and children and parents are all the happier for it. I believe that a frank and open approach to all bodily functions is a good, healthy attitude toward child rearing. I have decided to use “Wee-Wee” and “Poo-Poo” in this book, but I encourage you to read the story with your child using words most suitable for you and your family.
Learning to use the potty is often a lengthy process, taxing the patience of both parent and child. When success finally comes — and it should come in its own good time without undue pressure or haste — it enhances the child’s confidence and pride. She has taken another step toward independence. She sat on the potty as a little child and got up feeling ten feet tall.
It’s one small step for mankind, but a giant one for your family.
Love,
Alona
