About This Book

When everything fails to persuade the princess to use her potty, the king and queen consult the royal advisor who gives them valuable advice.

Our Review

This charming potty training book offers a gentle, relatable approach to this important developmental milestone through the story of a young princess who resists using her potty throne. Parents will appreciate how the narrative normalizes the common toddler struggle with toilet training while providing practical strategies through the royal advisor's wisdom. The royal castle setting adds a delightful fantasy element that transforms a potentially stressful experience into an engaging adventure for little ones.

What sets this potty book apart is its focus on giving children autonomy rather than relying on pressure or rewards, making it particularly valuable for strong-willed toddlers who need to feel in control of their own bodies. The story's emphasis on waiting until the princess is ready provides reassurance for both children and parents navigating this transition. Families will find this royal-themed potty training story both entertaining and genuinely helpful for making this developmental step feel like a natural, positive achievement.
