Book reviews: Emergencies

Going to the Doctor by Kate Petty, Lisa Kopper and Jim Pipe (Franklin Watts, £9.99)

This book is about a first-time experience of seeing a doctor and will help children to understand the purpose of and need for regular visits in order to remain healthy. Our school nurse, Adhra, used the book during a ‘show and tell’ session with younger children and even managed to rope in some older children to enact it for her during one of the class assemblies. She found the book to be of great help, especially since immunisation time is around the corner for us.
