Description
The Boss of the Potty is a charming and effective story about a boy who runs off and hides whenever he needs a poo. The strong central message encourages a child to use the potty by showing the positive outcome of his actions.
The book was written and illustrated by a father trying to help his own son overcome a fear of using the potty. The pictures are drawn to a very high standard and are attractive to look at. The book is tasteful (no pictures of poo for example) and is presented in a matter of fact way. The main character’s Mummy explains to him what poo is. She tells him that he is in charge of where the poo goes – he, and nobody else, is the ‘Boss of the Potty’.
The book is straightforward enough for a toddler to follow without being too simplistic and basic. The images are colourful and warm. The text is written in rhyme with a nice rhythm keeping the pace moving throughout the story. At the beginning of the story we see the parents’ sadness at having to change nappies, but once the main character starts using the potty his entire family gather round to show how happy they are.The book handles the concept of inevitable ‘accidents’ well by reminding the reader that they will happen but what’s important is trying to get to the potty before they happen.
The book was specifically written for Kindle. As such it is formatted perfectly and is very readable on screen.
The author draws from his own experiences helping his son with potty training. A bonus at the end of the book is a brief poem for parents who may be frustrated by the experience – a welcome reminder that they are not alone.
