This is a great book to help teach little ones about the Do's and Don'ts of going to the bathroom. What made this book especially effective was the main choice the author made to have each rule go with an event within the story. Each page spread involved a different character, a different situation, and a different moral/rule. This both allows readers to stay engaged and helps the whole book flow very nicely. As for the writing itself, it was easy to understand, and perfectly age-appropriate. I don't believe that kids will have any questions left after reading this book, and they will quickly be able to apply the rules to their own lives. Lastly, all of the information was accurate and made a lot of sense, which is the main component that makes this book so helpful for parents teaching their kids bathroom guidelines. Bravo!

Oh, no! When out and about, how does one handle going to the bathroom? Susanna Ihern and Mar Ferrero reveal what happens at Koala’s birthday party when friends need to go! Lots of great tips from a wise snail to prevent mishaps: go to the bathroom BEFORE heading out, don’t wait too long — no matter how much fun you’re having, be sure to flush, always wash your hands, don’t keep others waiting by staying the bathroom too long, and plenty more helpful hints. All the advice is recapped at the very end of this picture book. Perfect for toddlers and even preschool children.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Publisher Spotlight and NubeOcho in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very cute and helpful book! I loved the illustrations and all of the information provided. Where was this book when I was potty training my kids?! My only "complaint," if you can call it that is that it is a bit wordy for the age group of children who will benefit from this story. I feel like the same message could have been conveyed with less words but still adequately hold kids' attention. Thank you, NetGalley!

This is SUCH an adorable book filled with the, let's say, best practices of peeing and pooping. Our little animal friends are attending a birthday party, and over the course of the day we learn all the important toilet tips: go before you leave the house, aim your best, don't waste toilet paper, wash your hands, etc.

This is sure to capture any kiddo's attention -- and hopefully stick in their mind when that urge hits!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute story about a party that teaches about potty manners with great examples. Like, in the beginning, someone races straight to the bathroom because they didn't go before leaving home. Then at the end, the lessons are reinforced. I liked that they used cute animals instead of people because this is a topic that could potentially be embarrassing.
