(2) PS Tubby finds Patricelli's impish, oval-headed, gender-neutral toddler having a grand old time in the bathtub. In Potty, the tiny tot first recognizes the urge to go, then realizes a diaper isn't the only place to take care of business. There's an abundance of sly humor in Patricelli's comfortably rounded, bold-hued acrylic illustrations and brief, child-friendly texts. Review covers these titles: Potty and Tubby.
