Danny Is Done with Diapers
PreS—This book gently encourages, commends, and celebrates 26 youngsters who are in the process of being toilet trained. It begins, "A is for Accident. Adam had an accident. It's all right, Adam." Sweet, brightly colored acrylic illustrations discreetly show the kids using a potty chair or a toilet, washing hands, and pulling on clothing, with only a few bare bottoms revealed. "J is for Just like. Jack goes peepee standing up, just like Daddy" shows the back view of a father standing at a toilet while his son stands beside him at a potty. Another painting shows a cat using a litter box and a dog using the backyard while Keenan uses his potty chair. Written at a young child's level of understanding, this title will be useful in showing toddlers how others have accomplished this feat.—Maryann H.
