Are you looking for a book that will help you introduce your child or children to Potty training? I know some parents seem to struggle with this sometimes. Well, "Potty-Training Day" by Akilah Trainay and Ziana T. Washington seems like a good book to have on your child or your bookshelves.

This book seems to introduce your child to the potty and how it works. Those children or your child may or may not be ready. It tells that sometimes the child or children are prepared at their own pace. There are some ideas in this book that you may use with your child or children.

It shows the feeling of a child or parents with potty training. It is an excellent book to introduce to your child or children when you think they are ready to go from diapers to big girls. The pictures remain done well. I enjoyed them. This book does help with ways to deal with potty training but does not try and force it on them. Introduce it to them and keep at it but try to be patient with your child or children.

Children and Toddlers learn at different times. This book is an excellent addition to your child's bookshelves when it comes to potty training. Some perfect phrases are in the book to use or evening trying singing to help your child or children to go. But do not expect them to do it the first time. They may be scared. Try again later or another day. A book for parents to read as well. Good to add as a baby shower gift, or later down the road for the child or children.

Lovely illustrations
Catchy song
Teaches ALL children how to share
There is music supplied for the tune of the song, but if you can't read music, you're going to find it difficult!! (0 more)
A lovely little book which not only gives the autistic child advice on how to wait their turn, but also explains to the non-autistic child that everyone is different and there are some children who need help at learning how to share. The illustrations are bold and colourful, and I'm sure that the children in my setting would be just as keen to name the animals as to listen to the story. The song is simple and catchy, and I know that after a few times of reading it together, we would have children singing along.

In the past, we have used an egg timer to illustrate to children how long they can play with a toy before they should pass it along (for those who do not understand the "when you've finished, could you please give it to X"). I could see that for some of those children that this could be a possible tool as well. It's always good to add another string to your, and their, bow!!

I received this book free for an unbiased review through NetGalley and publisher.

For the kids, try Kingdom Keepers. Disney villains are trying to take over Disney parks and kids have to stop them.

"The best book I’ve ever received came from my sister. It was a special edition of The Secret World of Og, by Pierre Berton, a book our mother had read to my sister, brother and I one summer when we were children. The book is about four children who discover a secret passageway in their playhouse floor, leading to an underground world, Og. I must have dreamt about the story each night after she read it to us, because my memories of the book are as vivid and three-dimensional as if I had been one of the children in the story. My own children have read the edition my sister gave me, and they loved it, too. At our cottage, the access to the basement is through a door in the floor; it reminded my children and I so much of the book that we named the crawl space “Og.” One day, I hope to read this book to my grandchildren."

Looking for lovely family-friendly children's book for your children or child? Well, The Goose on the Roof is one to have on your child bookshelf. It is quite funny. You will be laughing when things see things more problematic. It seems like fun and enjoyable about a little girl and a goose.

The pictures are done well as well. I enjoyed the pictures and was laughing. Have you ever try talking to animals and as they try and help and not helping. You will be laughing at the antics. Will the little girl get help and be able to solve the problem? Why is the goose on the roof?

Children will learn rhyming and some other problem solving and how to ask for help. This is done well and is enjoyable. Children can look at pictures and enjoy it that way. Good for bedtime or any cuddle time with children. Good for children ages 3 through 7.

Very very good, yes it is probably for kids but as an adult I loved it. It is a mixture of Goosebumps and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It has the right amount of spookiness for children and some funny moments too. Will watch again and again and certainly one to remember. Loved it

I really enjoyed it too!

What a beautifully illustrated book! This books follows a grizzly mother bear with her two cubs from hibernation to the next season’s hibernation. It teaches children about different aspects of the grizzly bear’s life in different seasons and their interactions with the Gitxsan community.

I love how it has definitions of words that children might not know (e.g. metabolism).

I think more information about the geographical locality and the Gitxsan would make this book so it is more accessible to children more globally. Afterall, who wouldn’t want to learn about grizzly bears?

My Big Book of Beginner Books About Me is a collection of books by Dr. Seuss and two other authors. It's a collection of books that deals with the whole body in one book; Instead of 6 separate books. You get six books in one.

The books remain broken into each book with its title page; I enjoy this. Your children will learn about each part of their body. They will also learn to read as well. Parents will want to read and reread these books or stories to their children. Children will enjoy these books and love them.

The Foot Book:
The first book is "The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss. This book is all about feet and the foot; The rhyme is excellent and enjoyable. Your children will be rhyming and enjoying each page. One that starts the book is "Left Foot, Left Foot, Right Foot, Right." The story gets funnier and funnier. Your children will love the book and reading and learn about the foot or feet. How many feet do you meet?

The second book is "The Eye Book" by Dr. Seuss*. The book is all about the Eyes; It rhymes as well. You will find some fun and funny things when you read this. Your children can learn to read; They will enjoy each page. They will know how important eyes are. Children will learn what is around them as they read this book. They will also learn about what our eyes can see as we enjoy the world around us. What will your eyes see?

The third book is "The Ear Book" by Al Perkins. This book is all about what you hear—what you might hear around you. Your children will learn about their ears and the noise around them. There is rhyming in this book. Children will learn to read and learn all about their ears. This book starts with the sound "Tick, Tick, Tick, Tock." What's that sound I hear? What will children learn about their lovely ears and sounds around them?

The Nose Book:
The fourth book is "The Nose Book" by Al Perkins. This book talks about the importance of the nose and that everyone grows a nose. Children will learn all about the nose and what its purposes are. They will also learn to read. This book rhymes as well. Whatever would happen if you could not smell flowers or danger. Everyone grows a nose.

The fifth book is "The Tooth Book" by Dr. Seuss*. Children will learn all about their teeth and what not to do with your teeth—rhyming throughout the book. Children will learn to read. They will laugh at some of the things that go on in the book. This book is enjoyable to read. How many teeth do we get? How many sets?

The Knee Book:
The final book in this collection is "The Knee Book" by Graham Tether. Knees seem to go everywhere. They are so vital that you would not be able to do all the activities you would like to do. Children will learn about some of the essential functions of the knees. But they also will remember who does not have some. Children will learn to read. Rhyming goes on throughout the book as well. What would we do without our knees?

Parents will love these books; This one is a collection of books, as I mentioned before. There are six total books in one. Parents can help their children learn about themselves and their whole bodies. Parents help their child or children learn to read with these books.

Children will be able to read all by themselves with these books. They also may need help from their parents, but they should be able to read and learn. These books teach about six different parts of the body in one big book.
