I HAD to bring this home after I saw it on the library's greet-screen while I was working. I just had to! Bennett's book gives Tommy some tips on how to make going to the bathroom less painful. I wasn't really impressed. It wasn't creative--the doctor tells Tommy a story about a coyote with a messy house who has to take control and clean his house. Maybe kids like transparent stories where you can see where it's going a mile off? Anyway, the bathroom and dietary advice that Dr. Gold gives might be helpful for some kids, but it wasn't an enjoyable read, really. The illustrations didn't add much, either. But every book has its reader, right? Recommended for public library children's collections. I can't imagine a kid checking this out from his or her school library--think of the endless teasing! ( )
