No More Nappies: With helpful tips for potty training (Campbell Big Steps, 2)

I was disappointed when I first received this book as there's not really many pages to it, but I thought it was still worth introducing to my toddler. My toddler instantly connected with the book ans enjoyed the interactive elements. Since reading this book daily, my toddler asks to sit on their potty/ tells us more when they're going. For that alone I would recommend to anyone about to start potty training their children!

Lovely little book very interactive nice way to introduce potty training

We picked up No More Nappies as we were gearing up for potty training, and it’s been a total game-changer. The book is bright, cheerful, and incredibly reassuring for both kids and parents. My little one immediately connected with the characters, and the gentle storyline helped normalise the whole process from saying goodbye to nappies to celebrating potty success. The flaps are sturdy and interactive, which kept my toddler engaged and excited to turn each page. What I especially appreciate are the practical tips sprinkled throughout for parents and like how to encourage independence and handle accidents with patience. It’s not just a story; it’s a supportive guide wrapped in a fun, child-friendly format. We’ve read it countless times, and it’s helped build confidence and spark conversations about using the potty. If you’re starting the potty training journey, this book is a must-have on your shelf!

A lovely board book with various flaps, ‘up and down’ slides and ‘spinny’ bits (like the washing machine). My little boy is suspected on the spectrum and we have tried many ways to get him to communicate he needs the potty. We put two and two together and his love for books linked to trying to sit him on the potty for longer. He now has this book set to one side and when he sits on the potty we read it together. He will sometimes sit a good 5mins on his own too reading it after we have and managed to get a couple of wee’s from him! Which we celebrate, go wash our hands (and in the process of printing a free pampers potty training chart you can print via their website and will buy some star stickers). The book even has small tips at the bottom of each page parents. Main thing is getting him on the potty 10mins after snacks, drinks and dinners and then celebrating the wee’s (and hopefully poos) he does and following with the hand wash and chart! Brilliant book all round and will be recommending to anyone who wants pointers!

I recommend it

Granddaughter really loved this as it was interactive and featured a boy and girl.

The only potty book you need! A very well made book, happy with my choice.

My child likes it, and it seems to have helped him link concepts such as 'poo', 'nappy' and 'toilet'. We used it prior to introducing a potty and he has it next to his potty and uses it there. The first flap that is lifted, is a little girl's skirt, to reveal a nappy - I was honestly taken aback seeing this (especially as my husband was reading the book to my son in front of me, the first time any of us went through it) but then I questioned whether I was being too soft. There are some decent tips in there, and the methods it follows are generally consistent with gentle parenting - i.e., not shaming a child for accidents. However, it does show and suggest reward charts which are contested these days due to their emphasis on extrinsic motivation - still, this is generally a matter of opinion. A decent book which we will continue to use and which my son enjoys but one we probably wouldn't have bought if we had seen it first. I'm going to find some others to go alongside it.

Helped little one with potty training.

My son loved the book and keeps asking me to read it again and again. It also motivated him to make more trips to the bathroom.

This is a nice enough book about potty training. My son seemed to have liked it when we started potty training.

We bought this as part of the preparation for potty training. It was entertaining and very encouraging during potty training. Although she has been potty trained last June, she still enjoys this book and still reads the story to us (from memory :))

Our kid loved it!
