For many seasons, both the for Him and for Her versions of "Once Upon a Potty" in VHS cassette format have been best-selling items at bookstores throughout America. Now, both of these two cheerfully animated cartoons are also available as DVDs to make toilet training a little easier on both parents and kids. One DVD tells a little boy's story of potty-training success; the other tells a girl's story. Toddlers will enjoy watching Joshua and Prudence graduate from diapers to potty, and will want to emulate these cheery cartoon kids and sing The Potty Song along with them.
These wonderful programs reinforce the classic books of the same name in several ways: a full animation of the story, a sing-along potty song and a 13-minute doctor's tips for parents. The director of child psychiatry at a prominent New York hospital will calmly reassure you that it's perfectly normal for your young one to be taking his or her sweet time letting go of the diapers, and that's worth a lot. And the animated retelling of Joshua's potty progress is good, too. But it's the "music video" of the oh-so-catchy "Potty Song" that makes this half-hour tape priceless! And just in case you aren't already singing the song in line at the bank or the grocery store, the thoughtful producers have included a lyric sheet for you. "Yes, I'm going to my potty, potty / Now, I'm going to my potty, potty...."
*Steph's Notes*
This DVD is very cute! Camille loves it, at thebeginning, she really enjoys the live children singing and playing. The children in the "live" part are in disposable diapers, but in the movie, the animated characters are in diapers that could possibly be an aplix closure cloth diaper ;)
