What happens in your child and the Dinosaur Underpants

  1. Your child chooses dinosaur underpants for the day.
  2. A tiny dinosaur suggests a first potty try.
  3. Your child practises noticing when a wee might be coming.
  4. An accident means a calm clean-up and fresh pants.
  5. Your child ends the day proud of every try.

How the first page could read

Your child looked down at the newest pants in the drawer. They were covered in dinosaurs: stompy dinosaurs, sleepy dinosaurs and one dinosaur wearing a very silly hat. “These are practice pants,” said your child’s grown-up. Just then, a tiny green dino peeked out from a pocket.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

Potty training can involve plenty of small tries, quick changes and moments that do not go to plan. This story keeps the focus on your child’s dinosaur underpants, turning each potty visit into a simple, familiar part of the day rather than a test to pass. The little dinosaur helper gives young children a funny companion to follow, while the accident scene shows a calm clean-up and a fresh start. For ages two to four, the repeated routine of noticing, trying, washing hands and changing pants gives parents useful words to revisit together. Seeing your child in the illustrations can make those everyday steps feel especially relevant.

Reading it together

  • Read the potty-try pages before a usual toilet or potty time, then use the same simple words from the story.
  • Pause at the accident scene to remind your child that accidents mean cleaning up and trying again.
  • Let your child point out the dinosaurs after reading, then talk about which pair of pants they would choose for practice.

Suggested art style: Bold cartoon

Bold cartoon dinosaurs and expressive underpants keep the everyday potty routine light, clear and funny for young children. A sidekick idea: a pocket-sized green dinosaur with a tiny toilet roll backpack. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.

Questions

Can this personalised dinosaur potty training book include my child?

Yes. Picture to Story creates the book with your child as the main character, illustrated from one photo of your child. When creating it, you can also share a few details including their age, chosen art style and adventure, then see the cover before paying.

Is this story suitable for a child who is still having accidents?

Yes. The story treats accidents as a normal part of practising: your child is helped to clean up, changes into fresh dinosaur underpants and tries again later. It is written gently for children aged two to four, with simple potty and toilet routines they can recognise.

Can I see the book before I pay?

Yes. Your child’s cover and the first page of the story are made while you answer the questions, usually in under a minute, and you see them before checkout. You only pay if you love it.

How long does it take?

The digital book is usually ready about 10 minutes after you order. Printed books take 3 to 5 working days to print, then 3 to 7 days to post in the UK and US.
