A parent would reach for this book when their toddler begins to show interest in big kid underwear or when the transition from diapers feels overwhelming for both child and caregiver. This classic guide follows Michael, a young boy who receives a new potty and navigates the physical and emotional steps of training. It addresses the practicalities of the process while focusing heavily on the pride of independence and the normalcy of accidents. Parents will appreciate the clear, reassuring tone that frames potty training as a milestone of growing up rather than a chore. It is ideally suited for children ages 2 to 4 who are just beginning their potty journey or need a confidence boost after a few setbacks. By modeling Michael's success, the book helps lower anxiety and builds the self-identity of being a big kid.
