The Best Potty Training Books

Potty training books came in handy when we were teaching Ava. Basically, these books helped her understand more the importance of using her potty. Nonetheless, we experienced some challenges. Ava, like most young toddlers, disliked potties. She was always nervous from the beginning. So, I sorted for help from fellow moms.

That’s when I came to discover that teaching Ava verbally wasn’t enough. Most of my fellow mom’s used potty books to train their kids. The books had clear photos of what the kid would do and had nuggets filled with some of the expected reaction from the kids. Surprisingly, that turned out to be quite helpful to their kids. Here are some of the books I’d suggest.

    I don’t remember which one we used, but we also used a potty training book when our kids were toddlers. It worked so well!

    I feel like such a failure in this area. I happen to have two books, neither listed here. I think I’ll read a few of these and see if they offer something more promising.

  3. Pam says

    These are all such cute books and none available back when I had my kids. I wish we had something like this to make it a little more fun and resourceful.

    What a great list of the best potty training books! I never read many, I think there was just one Potty Tots had a book and I read that with the youngest as I worked to create a commercial for that brand back in the day. These books are super cool options, I had no idea there were that many to choose from!

  5. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m about to be in desperate need of these books, when the twins get a few months older!

    Honestly, I find the best books to deal w/ potty training are the ones geared towards keeping parents calm lol. What a stressful time.

    I need something book wise at this point. I had my now 2 yr old almost PT then I had my daughter who is 5 months and i paused for 4 weeks so i could heal and not be so sore, and during that time he lost interest 🙁 I feel so bad. Now, he will stand but not go so i have no idea. My older 2 were not this difficult to PT.

  8. This is a great list of books! I will definitely have to try to order I Want My Potty… My daughter loves Little Princess!
