The transition from diapers or nappies to the potty can be quite a dilemma for most parents and kids. Here are some great books to read to the young ones while they sit and wait and wonder what it is all about.
On your potty
Virginia Miller
George takes good care of Bartholomew, even though Bartholomew always says "Nah" when George asks him to do something. George wants Bartholomew to use the potty, but Bartholomew just says "Nah" - until George uses his big voice! But will Bartholomew be able to use the potty?
This is the perfect book for young children who are interested in the potty but may not be quite ready to start using one - and be ready to hear "Nah" a lot!

Ruby's potty
Paul and Emma Rogers
Ruby has a nice, shiny pink potty. She plays with it all the time and uses it to carry things - but does she really know what it is for? She plays with it in the bath tub and in the sand pit too - but when her mum puts her on it Ruby doesn't do anything!
This is a brilliant book for the little person learning to use the potty in your house.
