This is a real great book to read for children to understand what to expect from a visit to the hospital.it illustrates perfectly tools that doctors may use and explores a variety of treatments needed for different reasons we go to the hospital. It is written in first person and is a great basis of building a conversation/talk on how we may feel going to the hospital, overall great relatable book!
