One day after work I was at the supermarket ready to check out, when my 4 year-old daughter frantically squirmed about and asked to use the bathroom. There was certainly no way a baby could be “ready” to potty train. But even more so, I couldn’t understand why anyone would think a baby should be using the toilet, especially since my daughter had struggled at potty training at 30 months old.

In listing what I don't like about this series, I'll start with EVERYTHING from the characters to the plot to the worldview that I imagine would inspire a story of this kind of depth and breadth of ambivalence. If you read this book there is the danger that you may want to continue with the series, but trust me, you really don't.
