Relatable and hilarious new book

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

From the moment you see the cover and read the title, this book cracks you up. It’s so relatable not just to mothers but to early education caregivers and teachers! Colorfully illustrated and made very appealing to children and hilariously unputdownable for adults, hopefully it will help some! Lin Hawthorne @lin.hawthorne has written it in wonderful rhyme and Stevie Mahardhika has illustrated it amazingly, with some pages in the form of “wipe yo’self or it’s game over” 🤣

Fun and unique approach to potty training

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Clever writing and enjoyable illustrations in this entertaining and unusual approach to independence in potty training. I read this with my 10-year-old daughter. We both enjoyed the book immensely despite being somewhat outside the intended audience. My daughter suggested this book would be perfect for a little kid being potty trained. I wish this book had been around before my four kids potty trained, because this is way more fun to read than the potty training books we had at the time.

Guilty Bum Wiper

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I am officially out of diapers with both kids but my son calls me EVERY TIME to wipe his bum so reading this to him was a blast. I loved that the illustrations were so bright and funny. I especially loved the stuffed side kick and all of his faces. My kids always notice the expressions of the characters, this book sure does bring it! Since reading I've been saying MOMS NOT a lot. LOL, it's catchy. Makes me laugh every time I catch myself doing it.

Dreaded task made humorous!

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

We used to joke that our son would be playing football in high school in diapers. Potty training was such a challenge. Wish this book would have been available then. Loved the clever language that inspires and rewards “doing the deed”, but also liked the almost subliminal humorous artwork, sort of in the Steven Kellogg style. Something new catches your eye each time you read it. Buying this now for friends with grandchildren.

The perfect baby shower gift!

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

This book made us laugh and also teaches a very important lesson in a fun way! I want to get it for every new mom so she doesn't have to fear potty training the way I did. She can also help instill independence in her child from a young age. Love this book!

An Action-Adventure Take on a Dreaded Task

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Where has this book been my whole life?? As mother to eight pooping people, I’ve never run across such a fun aid to potty training. Fortunately, I’ve still got one person who hasn’t graduated from the diaper club, and you better believe we’ll be reaching for this gem on the regular when the time comes. If there are any little people in your life learning the laws of the loo, you need this book!

–Ryan T. Greuters

Entertaining book!

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I don't know why but I want to sing while I was reading this book LOLI found it to be very clear and easy to read to my 3 year old and I hope it helps him to understand the message.The illustrations are catchy and creative.
