    Children who have reached the toilet-training stage will think this is the funniest book they've ever seen. Most parents will smile, too, as children and parents turn the pages and follow the antics of a comical group of animals. Here, in amusing words and pictures, is gentle encouragement to toddlers who are going through their toilet-training stage. The color illustrations on every page are large and bold, and the story concludes with a sound button for kids to press. A little chick watches as a little pig, a dog, a pair of penguins, and several other animals take turns sitting on the toilet. At last, it's little chick's turn. The book's final two-page spread features a pop-up showing all the other animals shouting Bravo! as the little chick flushes the toilet. When kids press the sound button on the toilet's lid, they hear the toilet flush.
