Alona Frankel’s Once Upon a Potty: Girl and Once Upon a Potty:Boyare classic potty training books! I remember them from when I was little. The books are nearly identical, and both are full of colorful illustrations. Kids will be drawn to the accessible language and be able to make self-to-text connections (“Prudence has a head, just like YOU have a head. Prudence is going potty, do you have to go potty, too?”). The one caveat I have with these books is that Frankel uses the terms “wee-wee” and “poo-poo” instead of the proper names for body parts. You can easily change the words when you are reading them.
Some Humor
Laughter makes everything better, even potty training! So I can always count on Mo Willems for funny books! Time to Pee! will add fun to potty training, making it less stressful for everyone! The book guides readers through the process, from recognizing “that funny feeling” to remembering to wash your hands. Bonus, in the hardcover version, there is a success chart and stickers!

Connection
A Potty For Me by Karen Katz is an engaging picture book about potty training from a young child’s perspective. The child describes recognizing when they need the bathroom and overcoming challenges when they arise. Kids will be drawn to the empowering rhymes and bright illustrations.
You’ve got this!
I found these books super helpful, and I hope you do too! Please, share your thoughts with me on Instagram @playgroundlibrarian!
