Customer Rating: Summary: Short and Entertaining Comment: My daughter (2 1/2 yrs) enjoys this video. My daughter is mostly potty trained when I got this video. I think it did help reaffirm some of the practices that we do now but I don't think this has helped in potty-training. There's alot of essential details missing if you are looking to help with potty training. I give it high rating because it is entertaining. It's something she asks for often and I put it in when I need about 10 minutes to get something else done. (We often just fast forward to the story and skip the potty songs with the babies.) Customer Rating: Summary: The Greatest potty video ever! Comment: My daughter watched this video and was potty trained in an instant! She watched this video when she was two, I gave her lots of juice and water so she had a full bladder and I set her lil potty in front of the tv. I turned the video on and she peed in the potty! And she went on her lil potty from that day on! It was a very successful video, it made her be proud to go on the potty and feel sucesful that she could acomplish the task. I would recommend this video to everyone! My dauhgter wanted to watch it all the time, so I let her! She loves to sing along with the video. And she was fully potty trained by 2 and a half. No problems here! I would recommend this video for anyone who wants to have their kiddo potty trained in no time! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Potty Video Comment: I have 3 nephews that used the Boy Version of Once Upon A Potty and now my daughter is using the Girl Version. She loves the video and can watch it over and over. Kids seem to really connect with the character and want to imitate them. She is already sitting on her potty from just watching the video. Amazing! Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the price Comment: The video is way too short and outdated. It's maybe worth $5.00, not $15.00 like I paid! Customer Rating: Summary: OK but doesn't hold her interest Comment: This DVD is OK but doesn't hold my 2 year olds interest for very long. She prefers the Go Potty Go DVD over this one.
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
