[Libby]

The use of repetition helps a child between 12-24 months learn new skills and concepts. In this picture book, Does a Pig Flush? the real life developmental milestone of toilet training is presented in a playful book concerning this topic. At this stage in their development a child is developing more self-control of their body, so their interest in toilet training may be more considerable. Verbally negotiating the routine involved in toilet training and relating the child’s experience with this to Does a Pig Flush? will help develop the child’s narrative skills and supports conceptual thinking by focusing on steps that are necessary to successfully complete this routine or asking the child to retell the steps in the story.
