New board book format! Mommy has a surprise for Caillou: a potty for him to use. No more diapers. Caillou's a big boy now. After several attempts, a few failures and near-misses, Caillou learns to ask for the potty when he needs it. Toilet training is an important step in child development. Adults are in a hurry, toddlers have lots of time, but it is essential to respect their own internal rhythm. Children must acquire bowel and bladder control of their own free will.
"In a sturdy board book format, this is a lovely book to share with toddlers, especially those that are just starting out on their potty journey. Caillou is a well known character that many kids love; he is quite appealing and familiar to youngsters. I like Caillou too, and I like the bright and clear illustrations in this book. The story is simple and follows Caillous efforts to use his potty, along with a couple of misses. It was nice that the misses werent a big deal, Caillou was just encouraged to try again next time. I liked the gentle reminders that he would get there. I read Caillou, Potty Time to my two toilet training toddlers, and they loved it. For the rest of the day they told me they were just like Caillou every time they used the potty." Today We Did Blog
