Prudence--the round-cheeked, pony-tailed heroine of Alona Frankel's book of the same name--can provide further inspiration to young daughters with her video adventure. As with her print counterpart, the animated Prudence wonders if her grandmother's gift could be a birdbath or a flowerpot before she settles down to the business at hand. Unlike the book, Prudence gets a grand introduction in the form of a music video of "The Potty Song," complete with toddlers frolicking among portable potties. A lyric sheet is included and moms will appreciate the equality mindedness of songwriter Art Frankel ("Wee-wee goes there / Poo-poo goes there / Then Daddy wipes behind me and that is that!"). The second half of this 24-minute video is a "Parent's Guide," in which a prominent pediatrician goes over the basics: signs of readiness, terms, methods, and expected ages (for example, girls usually train before boys, but don't force it). --Kimberly Heinrichs

 So good that I am buying it again! April 17, 1999

This is an excellent video for kids. It allows you to start potty training education early by holding the attention of younger toddlers, as well as being entertaining to older children. My son loved it, and now I am buying it again for my daughter. A must have. It starts with a cartoon child getting the potty as a present. Then it shows that the child trys to use it many ways, until they learn through a series of accidents and successes how to use the potty.They make sure to stress that accidents will happen, and this is ok. Then the video changes to a catchy tune showing real children dancing to the music and sitting on their potties. It is amazing how quickly they start singing with the video while sitting on their own potty for more than 5 minutes!
Money well spent, time well saved, progress well made. May 13, 1999

The video(s) is/are an animated version of the book(s) by the same title. The animation pleasingly embellishes the book version--takes things one step further in terms of humor and the expressions and actions of the characters. The video also contains catchy songs, scenes with actual toddlers and clever artsy backgrounds, which totally capture my 27 mo. old's attention. She loves this video with a passion and is advanced as a result. So are wee wee.
 my daughter loves it, but I don't! July 21, 2002

I borrowed this tape from a friend after repeatedly hearing her daughter ask to watch it. My 26-month-old now asks to watch it once or twice a day. She LOVES it. She quotes it all the time (and I'm getting sick of hearing "Was it a milk bowl for the cat?"), loves the babies and the music on it. She also understands what Prudence is doing in the video. Although the kids' portion of the video is short, my daughter thoroughly enjoys it.As for me, I doubt this video is helping my daughter with her potty training. My daughter was already having some potty success before we got the video, and I don't see her more inspired to go potty since. She never mentions the video when she goes potty. Also, the terminology "wee wee," "poo poo," etc. is different than what my daughter and I -- and the rest of our friends -- use, which doesn't help us with consistency. I also wish the video addressed on my daughter's level other issues associated with potty training -- stopping play to go potty, buying "big girl" underpants (you see Prudence in them at the end but there's really no mention of what they are), etc. Covering these topics would be more valuable than the doctor's portion of the video, which covers information that anyone who has already started potty training already knows. In short, I'm glad I didn't pay money for this video. And even though I don't care for it, my daughter loves it and it's for her, not for me, so we will keep watching it....

my 2 year old preschool class is wild about this video in a months time i have gone from only 2 children being potty trainned out of 14, to 10 of the 14 all because of this video. I couldn't find a better potty video anywhere. I am a big fan of this video!

I bought this video last year when my older daughter (then 2 1/2yrs) had stalled at potty training. Immediately after she watched this video we started to see results. She insisted on watching it many times over the course of the day and even made me learn "the Potty Song" so I could sing it to her. (And the song is kind of catchy.) Now that my younger daughter (at 2yrs old) has shown an interest in training, she too has fallen under the spell of Prudence. Both girls love to dance to the music and point to the babies they see in the beginning of the video. I had thought that with my younger daughter's health condition (Leukemia) she wouldn't want to potty train now, but the video has helped her get into the mood.Buy this video!
