### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2020-12-08*

Help my little girl potty train herself before the age of 2. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Once Upon a Potty for her

*2020-11-25*

Great reading of a very encouraging and helpful classic! Good format that allows children to help “turn the pages.”

### 2/5 — Inappropriate

*2020-06-20, version 2.7.2*

Ewww

### 5/5 — Apple

*2020-03-16, version 2.7.2*

Very good

### 5/5 — Just right

*2018-11-13, version 2.7.2*

Very usefull

### 2/5 — Read to me feature - slow

*2018-05-08*

The read to me feature is quite slow to keep my toddler’s attention.

### 1/5 — I don't recommend this book!

*2018-04-19, version 2.7.2*

The book was ridiculous. I will not show my daughter this book ever. I read it for myself and was very disappointed in the vocabulary for the vagina "pee pee" and anus "hole". Really, is that what I want my daughter to learn?

### 5/5 — Great for potty trainers!

*2017-12-14*

Engaging and easy to follow along for potty training children. Clear message and images.

### 1/5 — 😳 terribly written

*2017-04-12*

This story uses the word wee wee for vagina.  It's not a good storyline either.  Complete waste of money.

### 3/5 — Cute story but that's it

*2015-07-03*

This is a very cute little book but I would not have paid for if I'd known it was just a story there's nothing to go with it too encouraging using the potty. I checked out the same book from the library for free
