[Annie Flanders · Rating 5 out of 5]

I grew up with horrible experiences of going to the doctor - as a child - and getting exams and shots.

This book treats the whole experience quite sensitively.

The cute illustrations are by Patricis Schories. I so loved the teddy bear.

Definitely a better-than-average Golden Book primarily because it advises silence and endurance in the face of a vaccine shot.
