That radio is a real gem. I've never seen anything like it until now, and I've seen quite a few novelty radios in just as many shapes and sizes (Coke bottles, vending machines, even one in the shape of a Polaroid film pack, etc). The speaker in the toilet bowl (!) looks awfully small, though, on the order of about two or three inches around at best. How does it sound? I would think it wouldn't sound too bad for talk radio or news, but speakers that small don't do very well with music. I have a Midland all-hazard weather radio with FM that has a speaker probably not much larger than the one in your toilet radio; the sound is absolutely awful on FM (tinny, no bass whatsoever), although it is passable for voice reproduction, which is after all what the radio was designed for in the first place (the FM coverage was an afterthought; the tuning is analog, although the radio does have a digital readout on the front panel). Sounds much, much better on voice and standard FM broadcast through headphones, though.

Does your little set have an earphone jack? For music reproduction, anything would sound better than that tiny speaker, IMHO. Then again, there really isn't much music programming on AM these days anyway, so the lack of bass in these small novelty radios really isn't an issue, and these sets weren't designed for hi-fi sound in the first place, as inexpensive as most novelty radios are.
