Title: She loves it; I hate it; it works
Product review: This is a hokey book which contains all of the worst visual representations of the 60s and 70s. Still, my child loves it. True, she usually thinks the potty depicted here is a cup, and says yes to the question of whether it is a vase to hold flowers every time, but she gets the picture (how could she not, the illustrations are that obvious). The illustrations are only good in the sense that the more realistic books do not adequately portray missing the potty. But, the illustrations reflect a terrible era. Think muu-muus, the stylized dove, 2-d everything, shades of orange, pink and avocado. I really don't like reading this -- the words are stilted, the colors are horrifying, but it seems to work (or such is the consensus among mothers I know).
