Richard Scarry's: Nicky Goes to the Doctor

by Richard Scarry (Illustrator)

It’s time for Nicky to visit the doctor, and thanks to Richard Scarry’s beloved Busytown characters, this checkup is an exciting adventure of discovery. From seeing how tall he is and having his eyesight checked, to listening to a heartbeat and getting a shot, Nicky—and other young children—will have their minds put at ease when they see that a trip to the doctor is nothing to be afraid of.

Reviews

[Jenna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Richard Scarryn Touhulaan sijoittuvassa kuvakirjassa reipas Jussi Jänönen käy lääkärin tarkastuksessa. Jussilla on kaikki onneksi varsin hyvällä mallilla ja hän käyttäytyy varsin mallikelpoisesti lääkärin tarkastuksessa!

Tämän kirjan avulla neuvola- ja lääkärintarkastuksiin voi tutustua turvallisesti. Kirjan avulla jännitykset voivat hälvetä.

Classic

[Sanna lukee lapselle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lääkärireissupropagandaa. Ihan hyvä tapa tutustua terveystarkastuksen käänteisiin, mutta vanhempaa yltiöpositiivinen asenne ärsytti viimeistään siinä vaiheessa, kun Jussin sisaruksetkin haluavat lääkäriin, koska siellä oli niin kivaa. Kirja on alun perin 1960-luvulta ja monessa mielessä aikansa tuote, mikä kannattaa myös lukiessa muistaa.

This book teaches little children most everything that is involved in seeing a doctor.

[Trish · Rating 3 out of 5]

Illustrations are so good. These days the parent would be right there with the child during the checkup at the doctor’s office.

I loved this book as a kid! Such a classic about a family of rabbits. It helped me to feel better before going to the doctor for a checkup. Richard Scarry is a genius!

a good book before going to a doctor visit. Elliot enjoyed it. I grew up with Richard Scarry books, so I enjoyed it, though it was pretty dry and matter-of-fact, which is fine

This is a good story to help introduce children to what it is like to visit the doctor. It helps make the experience seem less frightening. The text is small and the story isn't tremendously engaging, unless you are reading this story to a child who is interested in their visit to the doctor.

[Heather · Rating 1 out of 5]

It has a very akward set of pages where the doctor is sitting back at his desk and asks the little bunny to strip down to his underwear. No thanks. That's not something I want my kids to think is okay.

"The doctor looked at Nicky's ears. He took a long look, because Nicky had long ears."
