Potty Training Book List

Big girl panties
by Fran Manushkin
J BRD BK MAN
Features a light, positive approach to motivate toddlers to become toilet trained. What could be more rewarding for a little girl than wearing big girl panties, just like mommy?

Done with diapers! : a potty ABC Book
by Rebecca O’Connell
J BRD BK OCO
Adam Avoids accidents, Brianna is busy in the bathroom. Caleb is comfy and clean! Danny and his friends know twenty-six ways to be done with diapers.

Duck goes potty
by Michael Dahl
J BRD BK DAH
In this Hello Genius board book, Duck is pretty happy with the diaper system who wouldn’t be? But one day Mommy announces, No more diapers, Duck. Duck has a few misfires (and yes, we get to see his puddles and other deposits) before finally figuring it out. The book has a bright, zany style that keeps things at kid level while getting a lot of mileage out of Duck’s daffy expressions of horror and glee.

I go potty!
by Emily Bolam
J BRD BK BOL
What parent or caregiver doesn’t want help with potty training? This entry in the Rookie Toddler: My Body series of board books is related in a child’s first-person voice: When I go potty, Bear goes too.

Lily’s potty
by Begin Smart
J BRD BK BEG
Simple, rhyming text invites the reader to help find a missing potty chair. Includes note to parents.

My Big Boy Potty / My Big Girl Potty
by Joanna Cole
J PIC COL
“What a big girl you are!” Potty training can be fun. With warmth and sensitivity, Joanna Cole and Maxie Chambliss guide young girls though the challenges and rewards potty training–from the first steps to the joy of graduating to big girl underpants! A helpful “Note to parents” is included.

No more diapers for Ducky!
By Bernette Ford
J PIC FOR
No more diapers for me! That’s what toddlers will proudly proclaim after they hear this appealing tale of a lovable duck who takes the big step. When Piggy can’t come out to play because he’s busy sitting on the potty, Ducky realizes it’s time to grow up, too.

Once Upon a Potty (girl and boy)
by Alona Frankel
J PIC FRA
A classic — one of the best companions to toilet training available, and one that is well designed to enhance the confidence and development of children (and parents).

Pete’s potty
by Begin Smart
J BRD BK BEG
Simple, rhyming text invites the reader to help find a missing potty chair. Includes note to parents.

The potty book for boys/girls
by Alyssa Capucilli
J PIC CAP
Every little boy’s graduation from nappies to the potty is always a very important moment-and one to make both parents and toddlers proud! In The Potty Book, Henry needs to have his nappy changed so he can go out and play.

A Potty for me! : a lift-the-flap instruction manual
by Karen Katz
J PIC KAT
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 the potty, eat, sit on the potty, sleep, and then sit on the potty…until finally there is success.

What to expect when you use the potty  
by Heidi Murkoff
J 649 M94
What to Expect When You Use the Potty will help you provide straightforward and reassuring answers to your child’s questions about the process of toileting. Making your child feel comfortable with and positive about toileting is the most important part of potty learning. Have fun!
