As an illustrator, sometimes I read picture books and wonder how I would tackle certain subjects. This book certainly had me thinking! Who would expect to create a hand-lettered toilet paper title in their career?
The inside is as good, if not better than the cover. I swore the art was gouache, but it is beautifully handled digital art. There are adorable lessons on bathroom etiquette for all little ones just learning to use the potty. Valeria Petrone's illustrations are so fun and charming - even the bubbles of gas! Hope Vestergaard's writing is fun and informative - just the right words chosen for a delicate (but funny) subject.
A special thanks to my friend (and library 'concierge'), Jen, for pointing this gem out to me.
My friend Hope Vestergaard had a wonderful storytime at Nicola’s
Books today. She read her new book, Potty Animals, to the enjoyment of the crowd.
Afterward the kids built a castle with rolls of toilet paper!
Fun!

This looks so cute Gina! Love the toilette paper type! Hee.. And those characters are beyond adorable.
You are right, some themes are challenging. I'd love to find this book. So cute. Thanks for sharing!
