Summary

This is a picture book to read to young children who are starting toilet training. It is based on the Montessori idea that it is not up to adults to train children to use the toilet , but rather it is up to children to learn on their own. Montessori education emphasizes the importance of teaching children about the real world.

Through this book, children can learn about the discomfort of wetting their pants and the pleasure of using the toilet by themselves. This provides a good example of self-learning and self-identification, as encouraged by the Montessori way of learning.

The end of the book has useful information for parents, making this a fun and effective way to take on the challenge of Montessori toilet training with your child.
