Review:

I'd heard about this book before we started toilet training, but completely forgot about it until we saw it in the library one day.  And what a find!  Written by the creator of Footrot Flats, this book has Balls' typical drawing style in it, combined with a rhyming story about a little boy (Willie) who needs to find the right place to do a wee-wee.  My 2.5 year old had great laughs when Willie was deciding if peeing up the wall was the right place, and cheered when he found the toilet!

This is not only a fantastic toilet training book, but it's also a funny book written by one of our beloved New Zealand cartoonists - and who among us doesn't like to support NZ writers and illustrators?!

My rating 4.5 out of 5 - definitely worth a read or three.
