Best Children's Books for Potty Training: Make Toilet Training Fun and Easy

Potty training can be quite a big step in the life of a toddler. It signals a "growing-up", a moving away from the comfort of diapers to the strangeness of a potty chair. At such a time, parents can rely on the color and comfort that a potty training book can offer. While potty training books for parents are usually filled with tips and ideas, a children's potty training book is more kid-centric and introduces the potty chair and the toilet training process in a fun, interactive and engaging manner.

Here are four great children's books on potty training.

Colorful, interactive and written in verse, this potty training book offers simple, useful tips to toddlers and parents.

This beautiful, hardcover, lift-the-flap book is great for teaching kids about toilet training. It illustrates how everyone has a place to put their poop in: tigers, kangaroos, monkeys and so, little kids too need a place to poop. The lift-the-flap element takes away the fear associated with toilet training and makes the whole new experience interesting and fun. Interactive and with beautiful illustrations, this book is a must-have for any parent wanting to start toilet training or make the process easy for their little one.

Written in verse, with delightful illustrations, this potty training book will have kids in splits with the antics of Suzy Sue who loses her potty chair and goes around asking the farmyard animals if they've seen it. The book offers useful potty training tips in a fun and interesting manner. For instance, the animals all love the potty chair but mention that privacy would be nice, teaching toddlers about privacy when doing poo-poo or pee-pee. In addition, the farmyard animals add a dash of color and make the book both interesting and educational.

 This beautiful pink-colored book features Hannah, a toddler ready to make the transition from diapers to the potty. Prettily illustrated and with a sweet, rhyming storyline that takes kids along with them and makes potty training fun and interesting. Toddlers will love looking at the funny things that Hannah's cute little Teddy Bear does as she gets accustomed to the new gift, the potty chair.

Perfect gift for daughters and nieces who are ready to begin toilet training. And if you have a son, then you may want to consider the boy book, Potty Book for Boys by the same publisher.

Using books like these can help ease the transition and make potty training more fun and less fearful. Children relate to characters in books and reading them together will help parents refer to the characters, like Hannah and Suzy Sue, when helping their own child use the potty. Here are some more great children's books on anger management, healthy eating, green living and giving up the pacifier.
