Dinosaur doesn't need to use the potty. He makes lemonades, runs through the sprinklers, and splashes through puddles. He even does a victory dance, but is it really for victory?
Reactions/Observations:
Dinosaur stubbornly refuses that he does not need to use the potty. He claims he wins every time he doesn't have to go, until his victory dance turns into the potty dance. Children will sympathize with Dinosaur and cheer him on so he can ultimately make it to the toilet. The text is large and loud. The illustrations are simple yet enthusiastic. This book will be a good addition to a potty training book list. It's different yet will definitely become a favorite.
I've read this one in toddler and preschool storytime. They enjoy the dinosaur's tantrums and cheer him on when he finally does need to use the bathroom. Children will like the humor but understand what Dinosaur's going through. Parents will enjoy throwing a tantrum to tell this story to their little ones.
