(4) PS A little boy and girl introduce readers to the ups and downs of potty training and what it means to be a big kid. In both books, simple and to-the-point text (identical except for gender) provides a kid-friendly approach to training, bathroom etiquette, and positive reinforcement. The illustrations are childlike and unremarkable, but these titles are suitable introductions to the topic. Review covers these titles: Big Boys Go Potty and Big Girls Go Potty.
