跳著去噗噗囉，我的小寶貝！

by Sally Lloyd-Jones, 張水金 (Translator)

小兔子想坐小便盆，蹦蹦跳跳去噗噗！
　　後面是誰跟著來？
　　小豬、袋鼠、還有大鳥渡度，以及一隻胖胖頑皮的大怪物！
　　貓大爺挽著貓小姐，連穿著白衣的幽靈也加入！

　　大家一起輕輕的跳、開心的跳，
　　蹦蹦跳跳去噗噗！
　　大便大會，噗！

　　等一等，好像還少了一個？
　　是誰呢？是……你？

　　小寶貝，快來坐上你的小便盆！

　　作者莎莉．里歐瓊斯從〈Skip to My Lou〉這首英文童謠發想出這本書的點子，流暢的韻文中充滿無厘頭的好笑句子，再搭配安妮塔．婕朗細膩甜美的水彩畫，讓書裡的角色個個可愛迷人，卻又帶點滑稽感，令小讀者每念一句就忍不住發笑。整本書散發著歡樂的氣息，邀請小寶貝們蹦蹦跳跳，跟著好多種不同的動物，開開心心地加入上廁所的隊伍，一起參加這場熱鬧的「大便大會」。

　　多數的孩子，大都從2歲左右開始如廁練習，這個年紀的孩子具有強烈的好奇心及模仿興趣，在共讀過程中，他們會自然同理書中角色，也會想要模仿書中人物坐小便盆（小馬桶）的樣子。《跳著去噗噗囉，我的小寶貝！》就像一封可愛的邀請函，引領孩子走進趣味十足的想像世界，同時也鼓勵孩子邁向獨立自主，讓他覺得學會上廁所是一件驕傲、愉悅、充滿自信的事情。

Skip to the Loo! A Potty Book is a very sweet young children's book, illustrated by Anita Jeram who illustrates the 'Guess How Much I Love You' books.

The book follows bunny as he wants his potty, which he is no where near, so what will he have to do, that's right - skip to the loo. He is joined by a whole host of other animals who need the loo.

Luckily the animals, including kangaroos, cats, dinosaurs and even a few dressed up as ghosts, make it to their potty's on time. There are so many animals that they have a potty party, all that is need is a special someone to join them!

This boardbook contains a lovely story about animals needing to use their potty's. It is aimed at young children to help them use their potty's.

I know a high majority of parents get their children to use a potty whilst they are toilet training them (Mine went straight to the toilet, so never used a potty). This would be a great book for a parent/guardian to read to a child that is either just learning to use one, or apprehensive about using a potty.

The illustrations are divine, and the story is oh so adorable. There is even a mirror at the end to show who the animals are waiting for to join their potty party.

So, I'm not in the habit of reading picture books and I'm certainly not in the market for potty books, but this book arrived to my office today and it was too cute to ignore. The pictures are adorable and the verse is fun to read aloud. The mirror at the end of the book will be a hit with the kiddos. Highly recommended for anything looking for a sweet potty book that you won't mind reading over and over again.

This is another book discovered via our latest Alexi & Scott trip and being part of bedtime routine with their two kids. This is a great "potty" book. It's totally British! Lindsay was a hoot reading it aloud to Maggie. It makes little sense, but if trying to teach pros and cons of the potty - good read aloud and lessons here! It's not my forte as far as reading and read aloud, but we were laughing as we read this one aloud!

While this book provided an interesting take on the song Skip to My Lou, I am not sure that I enjoyed it. I appreciated the message behind this book, that everyone should use the bathroom and that it can be made fun, but ultimately I believe this book missed the mark. It was just a little too odd for me to get completely on board with.

My daughter is 1 & 1/2 years old. Her wriggly-bum almost didn’t make it to the end of the story.

I’m looking forward to potty training. Definitely going to sing this song to entice her to go to the loo. She loves that I sing the “skip to the loo” lines, it makes her want to dance.

It’s not as heartwarming as Guess how much I love you, but I liked this story all the same.

Ha! Very cute celebration of using the potty. Lots of giggles here.

[Casandria · Rating 2 out of 5]

Uhhhhh... I'm not quite sure who this will appeal to. If your child finds that imagining all kinds of anthropomorphic animals using the bathroom together is helpful, go for it!

I hate potty books, but I'm glad they exist. I guess.

Since we own a 9 pound pet rabbit, my little girl asked for bunny books on our latest trip to the library. The cover of this title shows a cute little bunny standing on his potty stool, looking happy. My youngest is a reluctant potty trainer, so I thought this might be a good pick.

The illustrations are very cute. The animals are at a picnic and each has to go potty. It gets a little strange when they all line up and then use their potty stools in a large group in the middle of the woods! The thing that captured my daughter's attention most was a large mirror near the back of the book, in which she could see her reflection. I didn't really get what that had to do with bunnies or potty training, but it was by far her favorite thing here.

All in all, I didn't really get it and I would have been annoyed if I had paid for it, rather than borrowing it from the library for free. Disappointing.

This book has lots of cute animals trying to make their way to their potty, lovely illustrations akin to "Guess How Much I Love You" and some funny words and noises for little readers to enjoy. There's also a mirror page at the end of this boardbook which encourages potty training toddlers to copy their animal friends and use the potty too.

I really like the illustrations, there is quite a lot going on within each page which is really nice and has lots of little conversation points or things to look at for toddlers who are mostly picture rather than word oriented at the moment.

Lots of silliness which reminded me of the language used in Winnie the Pooh (who doesn't love that?!) mixed in with an important topic for potty training - the mirror is a pretty clever touch too!

While it's cute to encounter a phrase or a song and then write a book about something that sounds odd, it would be nice if there was more than JUST that. In this case, the old song "Skip To My Lou" is perverted into "Skip to the Loo" as a potty song. Okay, so that's funny, for one hearing. The problem is, there's no real story attached, so the three stars are for the really very nice artwork.
I had trouble believing a situation where a bunch of kids [animals, but clearly young children] bring their potties and have a party while sitting on them, though, and that's the gist of a large part of this story. The ghost sequence is just odd, and doesn't fit well, and the ending falls a bit flat.

Bunny is at a picnic and he wants his potty. He goes in search of his potty along with his friends. They all skip to the Loo along to find Bunny’s potty. The author does a great job with the characters and how they journey to find the Loo. They start with just a few animals and it grows as the story progresses. I also like how the child can look in the mirror to become a part of the story. I would recommend this for any collection looking for cute, fun stories about the potty for little children.

Why are they peeing in cups? My coworker said they're chamberpots but I'm like, kids will think they are their parents' glassware!

Also, why does this not fit the song? It really should.

Also also, I think that bunny really has to pee and should not just skip to the loo. He should run or something.

[Samantha · Rating 3 out of 5]

A potty training book with rhyming text that features animals parading to the potty. The last page includes a mirror and invites the reader to join in all the potty fun.

Text isn't as sing-songy as I might've expected based on the title, though the text is still read aloud friendly.

Ink and watercolor illustrations are charming. Toddlers and PreK.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my not t00 distant future staring at me: reading potty books to my son. Ok, so if I must read books on this topic, I wish for them to be good; fortunately this one is! Charming illustrations, poetry that isn't annoying and cuteness that isn't cutesy.

Animals in the forest are all rushing to get to their potties. The theory is children will learn to go potty by watching the animals do it but while I loved that everybody goes potty I wanted more of a focus on the potty and not the getting there part.

[Daphne · Rating 5 out of 5]

The most adorable book about pooing I've ever seen! Funny, bouncy rhymes encourage your little one to head to the potty - to skip to the loo - when needed. Lots of fun, could be very helpful for potty-training.

[J Layne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cute! Toilet paper roll throughout on most pages. Cute art work. I love how the book ends with a mirror at the end, asking, "Someone's missing, Is it you?" And child looks in mirror and sees his face as the missing one who needs to go to the Loo (British word for bathroom).

What a great book about potty training. The illustrations are beautiful and colorful. And the introductions of all the different animals going to the loo is genius. Love this book.
