Reviews
The informative paperback is filled with true-to-life photos; a page for parents offers pointers for discussion before and after the visit.--Meredith Moss"Dayton News" (03/04/2001)
The Doctor and You, is a reassuring look at typical procedures and instruments in the doctor's office. Talking directly to her readers in a lively, conversational style, Swanson soon downgrades the Big Visit to no big deal at all.... Swanson anticipates every question, every reaction. A sidebar recurring with every procedure voices the fear, does it hurt She answers honestly, even when the answer is yes, thus ensuring her audience's trust for the future. She keeps the content simple, focusing on the reason for and the steps to expect with each procedure.... Swanson understands, too, that fear diminishes with control, and supplies a sidebar entitled Your Job to give readers an active role in each procedure... The real-life, full-colour photographs of the doctor in action allow children to find comfort in the familiar. Once in their doctors' offices, children will recognize both the instruments and the procedures from the book and should remember the smiling faces as well.
