Diapers Are Not Forever / Los pañales no son para siempre (Best Behavior Series)

by Elizabeth Verdick, Marieka Heinlen (Illustrator)

Overview

Potty training for kids takes patience and practice, and this charming, straightforward book helps pave the way. With Diapers Are Not Forever / Los pañales no son para siempre, young children learn how to use the potty and why it’s time to do so, while gaining the courage and confidence to face this important milestone in their lives. When little ones learn to do what the big kids do (go, wipe, flush, wash their hands), they won’t need a diaper anymore—they’ll have underwear under there! The book includes tips for parents and caregivers from a children’s health specialist.

Editorial Reviews

12/01/2014
PreS-K—These simple, straightforward guides are a boon to parents, daycare providers, and nursery school teachers, gently reinforcing best practices and reassuring toddlers and preschoolers that they are in control of their bodies and their health. The rhyming texts and appealing art contribute to the positive and affirming messages. The first title, now available in English and in Spanish, explains how and why to use the potty and encourages kids with practical advice to try and to succeed. The second title explains what noses do and why it's important to use tissues: "Blow. Toss./Wash and dry./Tell those germs good-bye." Both books offer tips for parents and caregivers at the end. An excellent series.
