Important moments in childhood are depicted lightly, but effectively, in a funny question-and-answer format. Does a hippo go to the doctor? Does a zebra? Everything young readers need to know to prepare for a checkup with their doctors is laid out humorously and realistically. Comparing and contrasting such outrageously silly moments as a hippo and a child saying “ahhhh,” the author and artist effectively capture important moments of childhood and lay the groundwork for dealing with new experiences. Fred Ehrlich, a paediatrician and child psychiatrist, has spent dozens of years advising families on the emotional and physical care of young children. He practises in the Boston area. Emily Bolam's first children's book was published upon her graduation from art school. She has been creating books ever since, including Goin to Boston, about a city she loves to visit. She lives and works in Brighton, England.
