Add a CommentFrom appointments, bandages and checkups to wheelchairs and X-rays, Harriet Ziefert and Liz Murphy’s picture book is a gentle, reassuring introduction to the world of medicine and doctors for young children. Using an alphabet format, the authors seek to familiarize children with the typical procedures and equipment that they are likely to see during a visit to the doctor. Some good health habits – such as hand hygiene – are covered, and the book also describes a vaccination procedure. Simple, easy-to-understand text and mixed-media illustrations are used in this positive book, which ends on a happy note: a little boy who is sick and feeling “Yucky” visits his doctor and then feels a “Zillion times better!” ABC Doctor would be a good book to read with a young child who is experiencing some first-visit-to-the-doctor jitters or fears. (It could be nicely paired with Barbara deRubertis’ comical picture book, “Izzy Impala’s Imaginary Illnesses,” in which young Izzy invents a number of impossible illnesses so that she can spend more time with her grandfather, a very busy doctor.)
