Potty Training Books for Children

Teach your toddler to use the potty with these great books.

There were two things I dreaded teaching my children when they were small: how to read basic words and how to use the potty. Luckily, there are a great number of books available on both of these topics.

Let’s first look at potty training books. As parents, we all know that we have to teach our young ones how to use the potty, and the sooner the better. But how do we go about it?

Well, the first step is easy: introduce the toddler to the concept of using the potty. To do this, read your children potty training books. The more books you read to your child, the better.

Here are some great books you can find at your local library and at bookstores:

A Potty for Me! A Lift-the-Flap Instruction Manual by Karen Katz is a rhyming potty training book that can be read to both boys and girls.

For children who love Sesame Street, there’s Potty Time with Elmo and Sesame Beginnings: Potty Time! (Sesame Beginnings) by Parker K. Sawyer.

For girls, there’s The Potty Book - For Girls by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, Once Upon a Potty -- Girl by Alona Frankel, Big Girls Use the Potty! by DK Publishing, My Big Girl Potty Lap Edition by Joanna Cole, and It's Potty Time for Girls by Smart Kids Publishing.

For boys, there’s The Potty Book - For Boys by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, Once Upon a Potty - Boy by Alona Frankel, My Big Boy Potty by Joanna Cole, Big Boys Use the Potty! by DK Publishing, and It's Potty Time for Boys by Smart Kids Publishing.

There are even reward stickers for potty training, such as My Potty Reward Stickers for Girls: 126 Girl Stickers and Chart to Motivate Toilet Training by Tracy Foot and My Potty Reward Stickers for Boys: 126 Boy Stickers and Chart to Motivate Toilet Training by Tracy Foote.

If you’re still not sure about this potty training stuff, check out My Potty Activity Book +45 Toilet Training Tips: Parent / Child Interaction with Coloring and Creative Fun by Tracy Foote.

After you have one or several books for your child, the next steps are to read, practice, and stay positive! Your little one will learn how to be a big boy or girl in no time.
