Books are a great way to help kids understand big changes that are going on in their life, such as starting toilet training. The pictures and often humorous tone can help them to understand the process and is a great way for you to introduce them to the idea.
The following five gorgeous books are a delight for mums to read aloud to their toddlers.
Have you seen my potty? By Mary McQuillan
Follow the journey of Suzy Sue as she urgently tries to find her potty that was borrowed by someone else on the farm. She has something very important to do, but can she find it in time? With its rhyming tone and colourful, funny pictures this book will show your child just how important a potty is.
