Going to the hospital (Usborne New Experiences), by A Civardi and Stephen Cartwright

2 year old DD had to go to hospital for an ear operation and we foudn thi sbook a real help, for us as well as for her and her brother. When we were at the hospital we were able to talk about the children in the story and compare what was happening to DD and DS to what happened to them. Whether DD took comfort from it or not was impossible to say but it gave me somehting to think about!! Ds enjoyed reading the bigger text at the top too.

"Great book from the Usborne first experiences series. It would be great for a child who has to go hospital or any child who likes doctor a nurses. It also has a duck to find on each page". "There's so much detail in the pictures of these books - you can spend a long time just looking at the pictures. Also there are two different texts, so they can be used for older children as early readers. The Dentist book is also good in this series".
