Endgame's not bad, but the command with no explanation? As teaching methods go - and I am given to understand this is a teaching book - not so cool.

Among potty-training books, this one is useful for those whose children sometimes refuse to go to the potty, or even -- sigh -- throw their potties. A scene rarely depicted in children's books, but, I suspect, somewhat more frequently experienced IRL ("in real life").[return][return]Oh, and also?

A good book for early readers and early talkers, my one-year-old liked to repeat Benjamin's "Nah!" as enthusiastically as he said it!

This book talks about Bartholomew who was in a bad mood all day. Nothing seem to make him happy, George spent his whole day trying to comfort Ba on his grumpy day. The book depicts how parents will always be there if when you have a bad day. This can be read to younger children but also slightly older children as a reminder.

this book is good i think it will show kids even when your not in a good mood their parents will still love them

Not a potty training book, but a funny book about potty training.

Little bear Bartholomew is not having a good day at all. His ears are cold and he feels grumpy, his legs feel stumpy and his porridge is lumpy, just to name a few. But through it all his big bear caregiver George patiently takes care of him, because he loves Bartholomew just the way he is, grumpiness and all. Short and simple, this book nonetheless speaks a message of unconditional love between male caregivers and children. Review by Book Dads

George strikes again! Ba can only reply 'Nah' as ever but with such feeling.
