A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is showing resistance to the potty or experiencing frustration with the transition from nappies. It is particularly helpful for children who feel a sense of pride in their independence but struggle with the physical demands of learning a new skill. The story follows the Little Princess as she decides she is ready for a change, only to find that the potty isn't as simple as it looks. While many books on this topic are overly instructional, Tony Ross uses humor and a relatable, slightly stubborn protagonist to normalize the accidents and timing issues that come with potty training. The emotional themes of pride, frustration, and eventual accomplishment are perfectly pitched for 2 to 4-year-olds. It is a lighthearted choice for parents who want to lower the stakes and share a laugh with their child during a milestone that can often feel stressful for the whole family.
