Toddler-PreS–Transitioning from potty to porcelain throne is frightening for some, and so it is for Bunny, who loves her potty and takes it everywhere until she loses it. Visiting her pals Tiger, Cow, and Giraffe, all of whom are concealed behind door flaps and just happen to be sitting on the toilet, Bunny still can’t find her potty. Having seen all her friends happily seated on real potties, which Giraffe points out you can never lose, Bunny finds that she, too, no longer needs her potty.
VERDICT Would that it were so easy to get toddlers over this phobia. Other books address this more realistically.
