A spoonful of imagination helps the medicine go down!>As the patients are cared for, children discover how a real hospital works, from radiology to pediatrics, neonatal to ICU, through a playful, imaginative lens. Packed with warmth, humour and fantastical characters, this Richard Scarry-esque book is the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down, conveying factual content with reassuring warmth and sparkle. Cathy Evans' clear, engaging storytelling combines with Ed J Brown's lively illustrations to bring medical adventures to life.'An incredible take on using literature to help demystify experiences that may be frightening by explaining ideas in a matter-of-fact way whilst still retaining humour and child-friendliness.' - Literacy Tree'This enchanting picture book offers a reassuring introduction to hospital care, with imaginative characters that help ease potential anxieties.' - School Library Journal STARRED Review (US)
