Duck Goes Potty (Hello Genius)
In this Hello Genius board book, Duck is pretty happy with the diaper system—who wouldn’t be? But one day Mommy announces, “No more diapers, Duck.” Duck has a few misfires (and yes, we get to see his puddles and other deposits) before finally figuring it out. The book has a bright, zany style that keeps things at kid level while getting a lot of mileage out of Duck’s daffy expressions of horror and glee. Although there are a few odd details (who uses diaper pins anymore?), this book is not only fun but durable enough to survive a few real-life training sessions. Preschool. --Daniel Kraus
