Dinosaur vs. the Potty by Bob Shea
How lucky are you? Two potty training books in a row! Dinosaur vs. the Potty by Bob Shea released just today and I HAVE to make sure that you know about this simply adorable book. And if you are in the midst of potty training like I am (I swear I’m NEVER going to get this little guy potty trained) than you want to have this book on your radar. You might recognize Dinosaur from Dinosaur vs. Bedtime (which I hope to be reviewing next) and in Dinosaur vs. the Potty he makes another starred appearance. This time taking on the potty.
Dinosaur is having a great time making lemonade, splashing in the sprinklers, taking on a three juice box lunch, splashing in the rain puddles. Nothing can beat him! He does a victory dance. But wait, that might not be a victory dance after all. Will he make it in time? Will the potty win?
Such a fun, fun book to read aloud. High energy and lot’s of roaring. Both of my kids LOVE it. As soon as we finished, the three-year-old said “Again!” And then after a second reading “Again!” We could go on and on reading this book over and over. On just the second exposure to the book my 5-year-old was already reciting and anticipating the text.
Love the big bold lines, the bright color, and one heck of a cute dinosaur. Seriously love here for Bob Shea. Thrilled that I met him at Book Expo America. Loved the look on my kids’ face when they saw their names on the inside of the book signed by the author. A bit confused to tell you the truth, “How did that get there?!”
Add this one to your potty training book collection. It’s a must have.

Oh, I love this one! My turkeybird has been really hooked on dinosaurs and space things recently. Plus, he’s having a terrible time with potty training. So, I’m definitely picking this one up! The colors sound fantastic as does the story. Thanks for the great review!

So stinking cute! I love your kids’ responses to the book.
If (knock on wood) I ever have kids of my own or someone to recommend these to, I’ll definitely have to remember this one!
