Recently, Begin Smart asked me to review two board books for young children. If you are a parent or grandparent of a young child, these books are great to have. One is for girls potty training and is titled “Lily’s Potty,” while the other is for boys titled “Pete’s Potty.” These two books are “age-appropriate concepts and simple language, as well as colorful pictures.” These are board books designed with the young child in mind.
Both board books are very cute and easy for small children’s hands to hold. Each has 4 fold-out flaps for little ones that are easy to open. With colorful images on each page of the board, it has the ability to attract a child’s attention. The images are simple for the child in mind and show him what to do with the potty and toilet paper.
The books are great for parents, grandparents, and even babysitters to read to 2-3 year olds. For older children learning to recognize words, this would be a great book to start with. There are only a few board pages in each book, allowing enough time to capture a child’s attention, as we know at toddler age that their attention span is very short.
These are great little books for young children to sit and read while in the bath! It’s also great for parents to read to their children as a fun and exciting book that prepares them for potty training. I really enjoyed reading both books, even though my kids are potty trained. These are by far some of the best books I’ve ever read related to potty training at a child’s level.
