A reassuring, cheery book about going to the doctor by the highly successful team that gave us I’m a Big Brother and I’m a Big Sister
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Joanna Cole is the author of the popular Magic School Bus series, I'm a Big Brother, I'm a Big Sister, and many other award-winning books. In Asking About Sex & Growing Up, she provides a reassuring blend of practical guidance and scientific fact for the audience that needs it most.
PreS-K. Cole and Chambliss hit just the right note in this picture-book version of a visit to the pediatrician's office. As in their previous collaborations, such as I'm a Big Brother (1997) and My Big Girl Potty (2000), the focus is on the child, the presentation is honest, and the tone is reassuring. When Hannah goes to the doctor's office for a checkup, she plays in the waiting room, the nurse measures her, the doctor examines her, and Hannah waves good-bye to them. Cole doesn't fudge: Hannah does get a shot "to help her stay healthy," as preschoolers often do. It hurts momentarily, but it's just one aspect of an medical encounter that's generally positive and sometimes even fun. Directed at parents, the final page offers useful tips for preparing a child in order to make the experience a good one. Clean line drawings tinted with colorful washes and speech balloons that occasionally carry bits of text help create the upbeat tone that makes this little book such a pleasure to read.
