Pirate and Princess Potty Books from Scholastic {Review & Giveaway}

Let’s face it. Potty training for most children doesn’t happen overnight. I know as my three year old son Lucian has been sorta, almost but not quite potty trained for many months now.  (If only I could get him to go number 2 on the potty!) I’m always up for ways to get him excited about the potty again since the novelty has worn off.

Scholastic has two adorable new books that feature a step-by-step story for both boys and girls.  Pirate Potty is a pirate themed toilet training book and will have you talking like a pirate and even mimicking his parrot side kick.  The potty in the book even features an x marking the spot at the bottom of the toilet! Princess Potty is along the same lines and will have you going “Here ye, Here ye” and of course she uses a royal throne for her royal business.

Each of these books has a fun reward system included. Pirate Potty features a pirate hat with various coordinating stickers such as coins, ships and swords.  Princess Potty has a tiara with sparkling jewel stickers just waiting to be added!

This has become Lucian’s favorite book overnight. Seriously. I asked him the other day what his favorite book was and he chose Pirate Potty. I had only read it to him once the day before but apparently it took. Now he is asking for me to read it to him during the day and wants it to be the book he takes to bed to settle down for the night. I think his favorite part is when I squawk like the parrot and talk like a pirate. I’ve even begun to add extra parrot lines because it makes him giggle. I also like that it isn’t too terribly long or short at 24 pages. The pages are very sturdy and given the subject matter I see this book perfect for a two to four year old.

This is a very inexpensive way to get your child interested in the potty and the reward system that is included is very fun and helpful. At only $5.99 these books are a great value!
