I think this story was cute and fun for kids that are trying to do potty training. The illustrations were fun and quite colorful. It was about a little rabbit that lost her little potty.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinion.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute book. The illustrations are fun and bright. A great learning tool for toddlers who are starting potty training. The one part I didn't like is that bunny goes into the restroom when others are using the potty. He knocks first, but still children need to learn that the potty is private time.

This is a great book for potty training and how kids need to learn how to use the big potty and not the little one.

This is a cute book for young toddlers who are being introduced to the potty and also some of those that might be potty training if they are using a potty chair instead of the toilet in the bathroom as a way of transitioning them. The lift the flap concept is usually a hit with toddlers since they like to do it themselves and the illustrations are well done. The only drawback I see with this book is the idea of bunny knocking when someone is using the potty in the bathroom and them just saying go ahead and open the door even if they are still sitting on it. I can see where that might get confusing to a young toddler as you try to teach them about privacy.

While perusing NetGalley one day I came across Anita Bijesterbosch’s The Missing Potty and it couldn’t have caught my eye at a better time. As the mother of a very stubborn toddler, I am looking for any way to encourage my little boy to ditch the diapers. The fact that this picture book follows his favourite animal; a bunny, made me jump at the chance to share this with him.

As Bunny goes around searching for her potty at the houses of her friends, she asks “Are you using the potty?” and readers are asked to open a flap to see who is there. Although this is a cute idea to show children that they aren’t the only one who has to go, I think that this might give them the idea that they can barge in on anyone using the facilities. However I liked that Bunny’s friends encourage her to use the toilet instead because as they say in the story “You can never lose a real potty.”

Usually I’m into potty humor books, but this one…. Uh. Bunny has lost her potty. But her friends are all using a real potty and maybe it’s Bunny’s time too. I think for me what is odd, is everyone being okay with others interrupting their potty time and coming into the bathroom. That is just such an odd thing.

Bunny loves taking her potty everywhere she goes. One day she loses it and can't find it anywhere. Her friends help her learn to use a real potty. This is a great book for potty training, and I love the idea of the flaps to show the potties.

Really cute book and fun book that will help kids transition from the potty to the toilet. Highly recommend!

Thank you Clavis Publishing and Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This books was fun and interesting as my children love animals and are currently trying to be potty-trained. great illustrations too!

I have a 14 month old and I have started my potty training journey. The Missing Potty is a fun way to start showing my son the aspects of potty training. The first thing that stuck out to me was how Bunny's friends were involved. like Giraffe and Tiger. It gave me an idea of how I can make Potty training fun. I love the drawings as well.
My favorite part was when she washed her hands, i believe in teaching kids cleanliness early. I cannot wait to read this book over and over again to my son.

This delightful interactive book with lift-the-flap fun is perfect to share if you have a little one that is transitioning from a training potty to the real deal. I love that it stars a diverse group of animal characters who demonstrate their success and visually celebrate how it's done.

A sweet little Bunny loves her potty and sits on it all the time. One day she cannot find it anywhere so she sets off to see if perhaps one of her friends may know its whereabouts. She visits Tiger, Cow, and Giraffe and she discovers they are all using the adult potty and suggest she go home and do the same. Little Bunny gets to the point where she has no choice but hurry home and with apprehension she climbs up on the toilet and discovers... it's not so scary as she imagined. Wow! Who knew? From that point on Little Bunny has the confidence and the will to transition. Her friends eventually locate her potty in the shed and they bring it back to her. Will she regress and start using her beloved potty once again?

The illustrations are adorable and the lift-the-flap addition is perfect for that age group. Both kids and adults will chuckle at the cute twist at the ending. I highly recommend this book both written and illustrated by the talented Dutch author.

Fans of Anita Bijsterboch (Everyone is Yawning) will delight in this is not-your-average Once Upon a Potty - type story. The Missing Potty is, pleasantly, the antithesis to every other potty-encouraging book on the market. It follows Bunny, a beloved friend who loves to bring her potty everywhere she goes. Disaster strikes when Bunny’s potty goes missing at the most crucial time when she needs it the most. With its lift-the-flaps, brightly colored pages and silly finds on every page, this book is guaranteed to keep your own little bunny engaged from start to finish. Cheers to Anita Bijsterboch, who uses humor and art to show using the potty is not so back after all.

Child review “So so funny!!!”

Pairs nicely with: a juice box

Adorable and silly book about potty. Who doesn’t love books with animals? My children loved the book, we had to read it twice!
Definitely would recommend to adult who is potty training a child. The animal characters help make it light hearted. Which great when teaching about potty training who can cause embarrassment.

***I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.***.

I thought this book was going to support potty training, but I don't feel it did. Bunny is looking for her potty, and eventually is forced into using the "real potty" instead, which caused some confusion with my daughter. It was a nice story to read and the illustrations are lovely. The interactive part of lifting flaps was also a bonus but as for supporting understanding of using a potty, I wouldn't recommend.

Cute book about learning to use the "real potty" and parting with a baby potty. I think toddlers would love the flips in this book as well as the illustrations. It was very well written and would hold any child's attention easily, I believe.

This is a great interactive book perfect for those potty training. It goes over good bathroom manners and frames going potty in a positive way, The flaps and knocking make the book a lot of fun for little ones.
Many thanks to Clavis Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy,

Very cute idea, and I love the flaps. Children love the discovery, and most would get a kick out of seeing animals on the potty. I enjoyed the author included hygiene after potty use.

My only complaint is that it doesn't really show her being afraid of the big potty, and I think it would have worked better if she wasn't looking for her specific potty.

This is a really cute book about a little bunny making the transition from a kiddie potty to a grown-up potty. It's cute with cute characters behind flaps.

The Missing Potty by Anita Bijsterbosch is an adorable flap book that tells the story of Bunny who has lost her portable potty. Bunny goes off in search of her potty seat, but she is unable to find it anywhere. SO Bunny sets off to find out if she has left her potty at one of her friends' houses. She visits Tiger, Cow and Giraffe; however, her potty is nowhere to be found. Her friends suggest that Bunny use a real potty because they can never get lost. Although Bunny is a bit apprehensive, she manages to use the big potty. Bunny's friends eventually finds her potty, but she doesn't need to use it anymore.
This would be a great book for parents to read to young children who are starting potty training. The only odd thing I found about this book was that the animals were all willing to allow Bunny to open the door while they were using the potty. I'm not sure we want children learning about walking in on people while they are using the restroom since most people want privacy while using the toilet.

Thanks NetGalley for early access! My toddler found this fun and entertaining. It had all her favorite animals in it. Reading the physical book will be more fun when we can open all the flaps! Wish we had found this a few months ago when we were transitioning from the learning potty to the big potty, but it was still fun the read.
