Potty Time with Bean (Ms. Rachel) (Books by Ms. Rachel)

I recently pre-ordered this book, and I was delighted when it arrived just in time for us to begin potty training my 2-year-old. Ms. Rachel has once again crafted an exceptional resource that is particularly helpful for parents navigating the challenges of potty training, especially with stubborn toddlers.The book is engaging and beautifully illustrated, which captures my child's attention effectively. One of his favorite parts is the catchy handwashing song included in the book—it not only makes the learning process more enjoyable but also reinforces good hygiene habits.Additionally, the pages of the book are made from sturdy board material with a glossy finish, making them easy to clean and resistant to wear and tear. This is especially beneficial when dealing with little hands that tend to get sticky!Overall, this book has been an invaluable tool in making the potty training process smoother and more fun for both of us. It provides clear explanations and encourages engagement, making it easier for me to discuss and navigate this important milestone with my toddler.

We saw Miss Rachel’s potty training video first and loved it, so we grabbed the book — and it’s been a helpful, fun addition as we’re about to commence potty training. Easy to follow and keeps things positive.

Love the stuffed animal and training potty products that go along with this. Made potty training fun and a breeze!

My toddler LOVES Ms Rachel! This book is simple and to the point! Bonus tips for potty training in the back of the book were also helpful. Highly recommend!

My 2 year old LOVES miss Rachel but is meh about reading. He loves for me to read this book to him and sits there quietly the whole time. Also a very good book to introduce little ones to potty training. By far my toddlers favorite book.

If your toddler loves Ms. Rachel, this book will be an instant hit. It follows the same engaging, interactive style that makes her videos so effective for young kids. The illustrations are bright, the language is simple, and the routine-based structure makes it a great tool for teaching bathroom independence.However, one thing I wish it included was wiping as a step in the potty process. My toddler, who is usually very receptive to books reinforcing daily routines, flat-out refused to acknowledge wiping as necessary simply because it wasn’t in the book. I had to supplement with reminders every time, which was frustrating.That said, the handwashing song in the book is fantastic. We use it every single time, and it has made handwashing much more fun and automatic in our house. If your little one responds well to music and repetition, this book will definitely help reinforce good bathroom habits. Just be ready to add in the wiping step yourself if your toddler takes Ms. Rachel as the final word on how things should be done.

This was the game changer. I tried the 3 day method and I think of the potty training materials that I used to reinforce what I was telling him, us reading this book and a YouTube video where it is read aloud repeated numerous times really spoke to him. He was excited to read the book and then that excitement transferred to practicing. You will need a little potty though so he/she can emulate what happens in the book (the 3day method encourages avoiding little potties and using a toilet seat instead). If you want to try the 3-day method too I also recommend that book and combining some of the tips and suggestions there with Ms. Rachel’s book.

Great board book for kids that are learning to use the potty. My toddler loves Ms. Rachel, and this book keeps her engaged while she sits on the potty. It’s a bit on the larger side for a board book, but it doesn’t seem to be too hard for her to hold. It has pictures of Ms. Rachel throughout, and has a very gentle, encouraging approach to potty learning. It also has a section at the back with advice for parents & caregivers; some good tips for those of us who need a little help!! Arrived in new condition and on time!
