The naughty Colin McNaughton takes on the trials of potty training in this funny, familiar tale to which toddlers—and their parents—will easily relate.

Littlesaurus laughed and laughed and sang very loudly,
"Potty poo-poo wee-wee!"
And the Daddysaurus said,
"Shush. It's rude to say it so loud."

Not only does Littlesaurus refuse to use the potty — well, for purposes other than building sandcastles or wearing as a hat — but he thinks it's hilarious to shout out "Potty poo-poo wee-wee!" and embarrass everyone within earshot, from Mommysaurus to Auntiesaurus to Teachersaurus to even his friend Whippersnappersaurus. What will help Littlesaurus change his rude ways? Could it be that a bit of reverse psychology is in order?

Finally my toddler is interested in the potty.
We got this book at the library and I thought what the heck, I will give it a try. While to Dino goes poo poo on the floor, it got my toddler to start talking about poo poo and pee pee. We have read it twice a day for a week now. He loves it. And he likes to say "That's RUDE" more than Potty POO POO WEE WEE.

Anyway Love the book and I am looking to buy!!!! It is the ONLY book I found to get him interested in poo poo and pee pee going anywere but in his diaper. :)

Totally agree with reviewer below
We are in the midst of potty training and found this book at our local library. What seemed cute at initial glance turned to horror on the playground as I found my daughter telling other children "Potty Poo Poo Wee Wee" and other parents saying "WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?" I should never have brought this book home. Apparently a dinosaur (Littlesauraus)refuses to potty train and just likes to call out this phrase at inappropriate times. He's disrespectful to relatives and neighbors and all he is told is "Shhhhh, that's rude". He only decides to use the potty after his father loses his temper (always a great idea in potty training) and yelling at his child "I don't care if you never use the potty." Of course, he does at the end, but then all the adults yell the catch phrase at him - where's the logic in that? Smooth idea, repeatedly tell your child NOT to say something because it's rude and then say it yourself. Next thing you know we'll have books where adults tell kids not to swear then turn around it do it to them. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR POTTY TRAINING OR READING AT ALL!

Potty Poo-poo Wee-wee!
Potty-training a toddler is challeging enough without insipid material such as this book out on the market. This book encourages your 'littlesaurus' to have a bowel movement on the floor, scream out "potty poo-poo wee-wee", and wear his potty on his head. While the adults in his world refer to him as "rude". At the end of the book, the adults then yell "potty poo-poo wee-wee", a phrase they have been trying to discourage. The pinnacle of bad taste is when his grandmother steps on a BM pile. Mixed messages run amok in this book. I believe it will actually set toddlers and thier parents back in potty-training goals.

Potty Poo-Poo Wee-Wee
Excellent book during potty training. The kids will giggle through the whole book and by the end, might be asking you to go potty. Dinosaurs and potty training, what better combination!
