| 5 | Much like the book, the video is available in both "for him" and "for her" versions, switching out the animated protagonist to Joshua or Prudence, respectively. At any rate, all versions feature an animated retelling of the book, two live-action segments depicting ''The Potty Song'', and a "Parent's Guide" hosted by Dr. Leo Kron of the Saint Jude Children's Hospital of New York. |
