Hello, friends! Our book today is Dinosaur Vs. The Potty by Bob Shea, the second book in the riotously fun Dinosaur Vs. series.

As the title suggests, this time the fiercest little dino in the world has a new opponent, and he’s not going to take it sitting down. In fact, Dinosaur doesn’t even need to use the potty at all! Nope, he’s got far more important things to do, like make lemonade! Or splash in puddles! Or water his imaginary whale! But even Dinosaur knows that eventually everyone must go toe to toe with potty time – let’s just hope he can make it before he has an accident…

As with the previous Dinosaur Vs. books we’ve read, this one is a blast to read aloud. With more than half the dialogue consisting of various emphases on the word “Roar!”, it’s a delightfully silly story that seems tailor-made to make toddlers smile and roar along. The art is always a hoot in these as well, with the devilishly cute dinosaur and his different “opponents” set against some colorful pop-art backgrounds. The length is perfect for a quick read, and JJ adored it. And while there’s not much actual information on how to use a potty, this could be a great book to introduce the idea of potty training in a fun way. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and it’s Baby Bookworm approved!
