Great for my 2 year old

We read this book at night and now he loves to sit on the potty.

My stubborn boy loves it!

My stubborn 3 year old loves this book and is really understanding the message. We read it every time we have "potty time".

One of the best books ever for potty time (and for today's politics)

Although ostensibly written to teach small children a basic lifeskill, this is also a fine book to teach Republicans some basic conservative principles.

It begins by explaining how, when Michael's diaper is wet or dirty, "he tells mommy or daddy. Then they put a new diaper on, and Michael is clean and dry again." Now, think Presidential and how voters will replace "Diaper George" with either Barack or John.

After Michael's parents bring home a potty, George (I mean Michael) does the obvious; he sits on it, fully clothed. Then he sits his Teddy Bear on it, 'cause he likes Teddy (Roosevelt). Sounds like Michael (I mean George) needs some on-the-potty (I mean on-the-job) training ... or at least to listen to his Daddy.

The book is a beautiful, sensitive and helpful guide to training a young child in one of the basics of life. It's written in language simple and clear enough for any Republican (I mean parent) to understand in teaching the basics of what's important.

It took Michael (George) some time. "Michael sat and sat. This time something happened. Mommy and Daddy and Michael looked in the potty. They saw pee and poop." Sounds like what prosecutors saw in the Abramoff lobbying scandal, doesn't it? Of course, cleaning up pee and poop is a lot easier than cleaning up Washington.

Consider the following sequence: "One day Michael forgot to use his potty. His pants got wet. The floor got wet, too." During Hurricane Katrina a lot of pants and floors got wet. Remember, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"?

Please, don't let the political similarities deter you from buying this book. It deserves the high ratings others give it. What's more, when your child is properly potty trained, pass it along to some Republican to help them start over again from the basics.

They may need it more than your child. Just look at the mess they've made. Don't you wish someone had read it to George when it was published in 2000?

Great book for toilet training little boys

I bought three potty training books for my son and this is one I like the most. It has a nice specific story which doesn't dodge the fact that poo and wee are what actually go into a potty (as some of the others do), and the story outlines the training process neatly. The parents' reaction to accidents is good and can be used as an example when my own child has an accident ("Don't worry, all children have accidents sometimes. Next time you'll remember"). The illustrations are very good, and my son clearly relates to them (he's fascinated by Michael's car at the beginning of the book). Highly recommended.

Not what I expected

This wasn't exactly what I expected. The chairs (I bought two, for twin boys) are just too small. They won't be able to use them very long. The overall construction is great but the size isn't. If your child is small for his/her age it's perfect.
