Personal Review: Dry Days, Wet Nights (A Concept Book) by
Maribeth Boelts
I bought this book for my 3-1/2 year old daughter who, despite daytime
potty training success, has not yet been able to stay dry all night
consistently. Although we have always been comforting and encouraging,
she is beginning to express frustration and disappointment in herself for
not being able to stay dry through the night. This book was exactly what
we needed. The story is about Little Bunny (LB, for short), who really
wants to stay dry all night but keeps waking up wet, confused, and sad.
His parents are very supportive, telling him that when his body is ready, he
will stay dry. By the end of the book, he does just that. It's an adorable
story, and a very sensitive treatment of the subject. My daughter was

enthralled, and she smiled with delight when LB succeeded in staying dry
all night. I was really touched by the sensitivity with which LB's parents
handled the situation, especially when they said LB didn't need to go back
to wearing diapers since, "We don't mind washing your sheets in the
morning if you don't mind changing your pajamas in the middle of the
night." There was a lesson in that for me as well. After several months of
doing extra laundry, I bought a package of training pants for my daughter.
She was really disappointed, since she had long since graduated to big-girl
underpants, but she reluctantly agreed to wear them. After reading the
book to her tonight, I decided to back off on that and keep trying.I know I'm
not alone in feeling helpless when my child is unable to keep herself dry at
night. This book offers a simple, sensitive way to reassure your child (and
yourself) that this, too, shall pass.
