On Your Potty! - Virginia Miller ... illustrator of Get Into Bed!. Miller's illustrations in On Your Potty! are tremendously cute and engaging through her use of bold, free-style pencil strokes set against a background of cartoon-like simplicity and characters who have well-observed and expressive faces and posture. The equally simple text is written in a way perfect for reading aloud, with lots of opportunity for characterisation on the part of the reader, and suspenseful pauses--just how will the forgetful Bartholomew make it to his potty in time? He ran ... and he ran ... as fast as he could ... and reached his potty ... just ... in ... time. This is accompanied by a hilarious view of the little bear with a palpable expression of relief on his face, complete with a speech-bubble aaahh, which will have both the reader and listener in fits of giggles.

 ... paying a huge amount of attention to the pictures. The words are soothing with an element of rhyme, repetative and catchy in a tv advert jingle kind of way. After you've read it a few times you'll know the words off by heart and they'll stay with you and your child for years and years. Bartholomew is a wonderful character who is cheeky but lovable all rolled into one. The story tells of his introduction to potty training, his obvious dislike of it, the associated boredom and most importantly his relationship with h...more

Premium Review On Your Potty! - Virginia Miller: I'm potty about this book (800 words)
by - written on 24/02/09 (Very useful, 154 readings)
Rating:

My youngest daughter is 20 months and whilst we are no where near ready for potty training just yet, I decided it can't hurt to be prepared so we can hopefully glide into it easily between us. I read a review of On Your Potty and the reviewer praised the book so much, I knew it was going to be my first potty book of choice. On Your Potty is available as both a board book and a paper back. We have the paperback version because the board book is harder to come across for some reason. I have to be more careful around my excitable toddler when we are reading it to preserve the pages until we have finished with the book for its main need; however it's such a loveable ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Give your child a George Hug tonight (531 words)

Very rarely does a phrase or saying from a book stay with you for life - so when it does, it is surely a sign that the book in question was one that was much loved in the past. On your Potty by Virginia Miller is "that" book for my daughter (now aged 14!). Bought by us, for her, when she was 2, and we were trying to potty train her, this children's story tells the tale of a bear called Bartholemew, and his dad George. Daddy bear George is going through what all parents go through - the frustrations of trying to potty train a child that doesn't want to play the game.......and Bartholemew is that child that has got better things to do ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review On Your Potty! - Virginia Miller: Its not just for potty training (290 words)
by - written on 15/09/09 (Very useful, 14 readings)
Rating:

Its very rare that a childrens book comes along that appeals to both children and adults and which can be read at bed time without enducing high levels of excitement but this is one of those gems. Anyone who has not yet been introduced to Virginia Millers simplistic line drawings of Bartholomew Bear is really missing out. The bold muted colours and lack of detail make them perfect for sleepy children as they are content to listen to the text without paying a huge amount of attention to the pictures. The words are soothing with an element of rhyme, repetative and catchy in a tv advert jingle kind of way. After you've read it a few times you'll know the words ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review NAH! (687 words)

Rating:

Published in 1991, just at the right time for both my eldest children to enjoy when they were being potty trained. THE STORY The story centres around Bartholemew, a little bear who can sometimes be very good, and sometimes be a tad reluctant! It starts with George, the big bear, padding softly to Bartholomew's bed to see if he is awake. Wheh he askes if he is awake, he is greeted with a "Nah!" Bah gets out of be but when George askes him if he is up, again, he gets the "Nah". Children get a bit concerned by the fact that Bah is just refusing to do things, and especially because of the way he ...  Read the complete review
