This book is about a boy who goes into the hospital for a one night stay after an ear operation. The pictures and words are bright, cheery and comforting to young readers. My daughter liked to read this book even after her hospital stay. It was written in England so it shows hospital scenes (like children in group wards) which didn't apply to my daughters stay. I pointed out differences between what would and did happen to her. A good book to show a very young child what going to the hospital will be like and that it isn't as scary as it might seem. This series introduces young children, in an amusing and friendly way, to situations they might find themselves in for the first time. Stephen Cartwright’s gently humorous illustrations are full of things for children to look at, learn from and talk about, and the simple text will enable from and talk about, and the simple text will enable slightly older children to read the books for themselves.
