) Not all Maisy books are equal—in fact, we're sorry to say that a few of her lift-the-flap books have some pretty sharp corners. We liked the simplicity of this getting-ready-for-bed book, which includes going to the potty, and the humor of Maisy's Pool. 2 & up. Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2001.
) Kids will see the humor of Max's delay tactics. Ruby is right there making all the necessary adjustments. If we could all be as calm as Ruby. 2 & up. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2001.
) It's bedtime but none of the little animals are ready for bed. Finally, it's wise old Grandma Owl who finds just the right way to get everyone settled down for the night. 2 and-a-half & up. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2001.
) If you're introducing the concept of potty training, you can make a gender-specific choice with either version of this little book that makes the transition from diapers to potty sound "do-able"—let's hope! We think this is more age appropriate than the new "What to Expect" for Kids book on the same subject. 2 & up. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2001.
) Koko is a little bear who is learning how to become more independent by using the potty. Lansky's tips for parents on their role are included. 2 & up. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: .
) In his usual reassuring way, Mr. Rogers talks with children about using the potty. This photo essay reinforces the idea that using a potty is another step toward growing up. Also excellent: Your New Potty, by J. Cole, Morrow. 2 & up.
Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 1995.

) Kids who have a favorite "lovie" will understand how Louie feels about his red goose, Rosie—especially when she falls into the sea. All's well that ends well! 2 and-a-half & up.
Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2001.
) Little Bear wants an audience as he tries new things. That's just what Big Bear provides. It's Big Bear's being there that gives Little Bear the courage to try new things. 2 & up.

)
Here's a honey of a bunny tale about moving to a new home. Told in sweet, easy couplets, this is just the right kind of reassurance young movers need. 2-and-a-half & up. Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2001.
) Toby and Dad discover silly faces and the emotions those faces convey. Will surely prompt some very silly face making. This is the best in a new but uneven series. 2 & up.
