thank you for all these helpful suggestions. A huge success here, is “The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it was none of his Business”, by Werner Holzwart & Wolf Erlbruch. Basically, an animal has done something on the mole’s head, so he goes around asking all the animals whether they’re responsible for this. They all say know and show him that their poo is different from what he has on his head. It’s hilarious, ends in a very funny way, and the drawings are great. I recommand the biggest hardcover copy you can find. It makes it bulky but is worth it.

Another one they love is “Once upon a Potty”, by Alona Frankel. It takes us through all the steps a little boy goes through before achieving that wonder, peeing in the potty. His Mommmy is extremely proud of him! It also teaches you about different parts of the body. The drawings are really sweet, and both of you can really relate to the story. It’s very old-fashioned (the little boy’s nappies are made of fabric…), but I still like it. And there’s a girl’s version!

Good luck to all the potty-training mummies, I really need some in that regard!
