This story about a giraffe with a a sore throat is cozy and fun to read. The book features the warm and kind Dr. Hippo who helps Sadie to get well. The Dr. Hippo series, created by Charlotte Cowan ( an M.D. herself ), is a wonderful collection of stories that comfort kids with childhood illnesses. Pamphlets in pockets on the back covers supply worried parents with information about when to take a child to the doctor, treating common illnesses, etc. Dr. Hippo is such a charming character that doctor visits just seem less scary – I fell in love with him myself while painting the pictures for this story.
Books in the series would be a fun gift for new moms and dads, kids, or kind doctors you know….
