Can you recommend a book to introduce potty training?

My twin girls are 21m and I intend to wait until the summer to potty train when they will be 2.1 or so.

However, they both pretty reliably wee at bathtime and so I'd like to just try sitting them on the potty then so get them used to the idea and before I do that, I'd like to use some books to introduce the idea of what a potty is and what it's for.

Any recommendations?

My daughter (now 18) loved 'I Want My Potty!' by Tony Ross - a very funny book. Having said that, though, she never really took to potty training. I think she used her potty just once, on New Year's Day 1994 - and then refused to use it ever again. Was it the sight of her parents' delight at a potful of pee? Grin. I eventually got her a toilet insert and a stool to climb up to it and she used that quite happily - and it actually worked out for the better as we were saved the trouble of cleaning out the potty - so you may bear that in mind as an alternative.

Thanks. That was the book I thought looked good. However, I agree with you on the idea of just using a toilet seat, as they already say wee wee if they see me using the toilet so I wouldn't have to explain the concept.
