Hardcover
(Clavis Publishing, Feb. 1, 2011)
Katie doesn’t feel well—she has a cough, a runny nose, and she feels dizzy. Her mother explains that she has a fever and takes Katie to see the doctor. With her favorite toy in tow, Katie allows the doctor listen to her heart with a stethoscope, look in her ears and mouth, and touch her belly. When the doctor prescribes some medicine to take, Katie is excited to know that she will be feeling better soon. Using simple language and vivid illustrations, this soothing tale is an ideal way to prepare children for their first visit to a medical practitioner.
