This book is about a little boy who has a younger sister. The younger sister is still wearing diapers and the boy wears underpants. He talks about how cool is underpants are. One day, his mom decides that it is time for the little girl to be potty trained. They go to the store and buy the little girl a pink potty and she begins to sit on it all the time. Her mom puts her on the potty at all times so she will learn to use it. After a few accidents, the little girl finally learns to use the potty. She then gets to wear big girl underpants too. In the end, they tell the litte girl that she is all grown up now. I liked this book I just do not see myslef using it in the classroom unless in a preschool. ( )

The new story is about the sister getting her new potty. It shows the older brother's jealousy and irritation wih his little sister. The brother is actually the narrarator. There are lots of funny parts and illustrations. Children would love this book, especially if they are going through potty training.
