13 Potty Training Books for Kids

Get your child ready for potty training with a good book. (But my kids also love potty dolls and potty parties. We do it all, including nude time!)

Most kids are ready for potty training around age 2, but many aren’t ready until age 3. Experts recommend waiting until your child is interested and showing signs of readiness, including knowing when they have to go, undress, follow directions, and stay dry for two hours. Therefore, potty training age is when the child is ready.
