My Friend the Doctor
PreSchool-Grade 1&ndash;A little girl goes through a routine checkup, including getting a shot. The back page has useful tips for preparing a child for the upcoming appointment. With only a sentence or two or a dialogue balloon per page, the book is a good introduction to the standard procedures. The cartoon illustrations feature colorful scenes and happy people, a good reinforcement of the mood parents want to convey to their offspring. Just what the doctor ordered.&ndash;Laurel L.
