5 Stars The best for potty training
This is the 3rd time using this video for potty training. The first was a girl, then my son (used the boy video of course) now another girl. They loved the cute little “now we’re going to the potty, potty” song and all the little kids using the potty. Then the whole story with Prudence and all her body parts is cool for showing them how it all works. After they watched the video they all say “bye, bye pooh pooh, bye, bye pee pee” when it goes down the toilet (You can appreciate this when you are in the midst of potty training). I’ve leant my other videos to friends who’ve given them to friends and bought it again for my 3rd because it’s worth it.
5 Stars Short and Entertaining
My daughter (2 1/2 yrs) enjoys this video. My daughter is mostly potty trained when I got this video. I think it did help reaffirm some of the practices that we do now but I don’t think this has helped in potty-training. There’s alot of essential details missing if you are looking to help with potty training. I give it high rating because it is entertaining. It’s something she asks for often and I put it in when I need about 10 minutes to get something else done. (We often just fast forward to the story and skip the potty songs with the babies.)
5 Stars The Greatest potty video ever!
My daughter watched this video and was potty trained in an instant! She watched this video when she was two, I gave her lots of juice and water so she had a full bladder and I set her lil potty in front of the tv. I turned the video on and she peed in the potty! And she went on her lil potty from that day on! It was a very successful video, it made her be proud to go on the potty and feel sucesful that she could acomplish the task. I would recommend this video to everyone! My dauhgter wanted to watch it all the time, so I let her! She loves to sing along with the video. And she was fully potty trained by 2 and a half. No problems here! I would recommend this video for anyone who wants to have their kiddo potty trained in no time!
5 Stars Great Potty Video
I have 3 nephews that used the Boy Version of Once Upon A Potty and now my daughter is using the Girl Version. She loves the video and can watch it over and over. Kids seem to really connect with the character and want to imitate them. She is already sitting on her potty from just watching the video. Amazing!
1 Star Not worth the price
The video is way too short and outdated. It’s maybe worth $5.00, not $15.00 like I paid!
Tuesdays with Morrie An Old Man a Young Man and Lifes Greatest Lesson

Tuesdays with Morrie An Old Man a Young Man and Lifes Greatest Lesson
It’s been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Now–twelve million copies later–in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrie’s life lessons and the gentle, irrevocable impact of their Tuesday sessions all those years ago. . .
_____
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.

4 Stars Beautiful Art
Very few books have the ability provoke emotions from cynical readers such as myself, but Tuesdays with Morrie has managed to do just that. Tears flowed freely and I couldn’t tear myself away from finishing it to the end. It is beautifully written and is a testament to the powerful influence of good Educators who are enthusiastic about the education they have been entrusted to instill in their students. This is a beautiful book to read no matter your situation. If you’ve never known death or if you have too often dealt with it in the past, this book is a must read.
4 Stars Dealing With Life and Death
I thought this book was a bit slow reading, but it was touching and certainly thought provoking. It’s a record of conversations between a man and his former college professor who he admired and became friends with when the professor was dying from ALS disease. The professor shared his feelings about a variety of subjects, including how he felt about dying and becoming like a baby again, helpless. It was sort of depressing, but yet had enough good philosophical thoughts to keep me reading. The one I liked best is that he said “Love Goes On.” When the professor was asked if he worried about being forgotten when he died, his answer was, “I don’t think I will be. I’ve got so many people who have been involved with me in close, intimate ways. And love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.” I agree with this because the loved ones I’ve lost are still alive in my thoughts.
5 Stars Valuable Wisdom From A Wise Mentor
Author Mitch Albom has captured the essence of why we should all make time to seek out and gather valuable wisdom from the powerful “mentors” in our lives. In the inspirational bestseller Tuesdays With Morrie, the author is sharing his spiritual mentor Morrie Schwartz with all of us.
This best selling book contains many life lessons - finding balance, seeking out a mentor, appreciating what’s really important in life, using talents wisely and making time to love unconditionally. This true story of a mentor/mentee relationship has inspires millions of readers to remember the important mentors in our own lives - ones that helped us to reflect upon making our own lives better.
Tuesdays With Morrie has the power to make each us reflect back to those wise mentors who have passed through our own lives. Ones that as an adult we now wish we’d listen more carefully to or asked more questions of or spent more time with. Mentors come in all shapes and sizes - grandparents, favorite teachers, coaches and parents - those special people who are willing to share life’s wisdom with us.
Tuesdays With Morrie was written by Detroit Free Press sports writer Mitch Albom about his former college professor Morrie Schwartz. After seeing Morrie on Nightline and realizing that Morrie is suffering from ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) and is dying, Mitch decides to seek out and spend time with the mentor with whom he’d lost contact.
The two decide to tape record and collaborate on a book that will share Morrie’s wisdom and philosophy of life, death and dying. What began as a book to help pay for Morrie’s medical expenses soon became a labor of love for both.
Mitch and Morrie spent every Tuesday together talking about life, love, purpose, ambition, meaning and so much more. Writing this book gave Morrie a purpose for living and for Mitch it was a wake up call to look at the legacy he is leaving with his own life. This is a powerful and touching book with lessons and “ah’s” for each of us to ponder.
To me, this book reinforces the power of having a trusted mentor. That wise person in your life who encourages you to grow, come out of your comfort zone and live the best life possible. Sometimes, this book reminds us, we are all so busy doing that we forget to “be.”
Tuesday’s With Morrie was on the New York Times Bestseller List for 205 consecutive weeks and for good reason. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to improve and empower their lives - Mitch’s mentor Morrie has powerful life lessons for all of us.
5 Stars A Quick, Entertaining and Possibly Inspiring Read
I was really surprised at some of the negative reviews for this book. I had assumed it would be very cynical people, but it seemed to be people who just thought they were too smart for something so “simple.” This book doesn’t offer some remedy for depression or an empty life. It’s not supposed to give you answers. It’s just about how one man changed another’s life by reminding him about what’s important. There is not some big thing we’re supposed to do. It’s just about taking pleasure in smaller things. I didn’t feel like this book was dumbed-down for the average American reader (like some reviewers said), but was just supposed to be a simple example of a man who believed in living life for the things and people he loved most; not to make lots of money.
I didn’t feel particularly changed when I read this book, but I enjoyed reading it all the same. I didn’t want it to end. It felt somehow comforting. If you can’t appreciate this book, I feel sorry for you.
5 Stars Simply wonderful.
Mitch Albom is one of those writers that doesn’t need to write an epic to get his point across. His books are relatively short but that never takes away from the content. He can jam in quite a bit of goodness into a little paper back book. This book and Five People You Meet in Heaven are very poignant and must reads.
