The prince will not use his potty, and the king and queen are quite perplexed! They are even more confused when they consult the Royal Wise Man, who tells them to get the prince a puppy. But the wisdom of his words becomes perfectly plain as the prince learns all about using a proper potty from his new pet.

From School Library Journal:

PreS–A young prince insists that his potty doesn't please him, leading his poor parents to envision him as a diapered king. At the advice of the Royal Wise Man, they get the boy a puppy, and seeing how the animal learns to do its business on a cloth inspires the prince to use his potty after all. The book ends with a grand celebration of his accomplishment. Motoyama's colorful cartoon illustrations lend life to this shallow tale, but the facile solution is likely to frustrate parents and youngsters alike.–Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD
