Review

Families will certainly be pleased to learn that Richard Scarry’s Nicky Goes to the Doctor is back in print. Always a favorite in the past, a new generation of youngsters will find this informative and entertaining before their own visits with their doctors. Nicky Bunny has a positive experience being measured as well as weighed, he has the opportunity to listen to the Doctor’s heart and he gets tickled during the exam.

Children will appreciate the honesty when Nicky says ouch to a shot. This is a classic that is not impacted by the passing of time; this story remains fresh. Thanks to Random House for bringing it back. Add this to all pre-K to grade one classrooms and gift a copy to your child’s pediatric practice.

Overall Book Score: good
