Unwrapping the Story
This delightful book is from the same author who created "Did Dinosaurs Have Dentists". It touches on 14 children's health issues that are fun and entertaining. A child on the way to a paediatrician asks some very thought-provoking questions on the journey:
"Has a Beluga Whale ever had bronchitis?"
"Do Polar Bears suffer from pinkeye?"
"Can a Caribou catch chicken pox?"
"Do Walruses get toothaches?"
"Can Snow Owls come down with strep throat?" .... just to name a few.
The silly,, but relevant questions to a child are intended to alleviate the fears and worries of a child before they honour their doctor's appointment. They learn that a human when sick goes to a doctor while an animal when ill sees a vet.
The illustrations are vibrantly coloured and full of humour. The animal characters with their various maladies will provoke giggles I'm sure. The author has included at the back of the book a section where each animal that has appeared in the story is documented and given additional informal about its life. I'm sure little ones will love the absurdity of the story, emit some laughter and learn some interesting facts about the diverse collection of critters included in the book along the way. I recommend this book.
