My daughter really enjoyed this book。 She is dyslexic and these types of books have been a big help to her。 As a family with medical professionals on my side she loves learning about them and this kept her interest as well as boosted her confidence。

Nice read！

Great！ This book is a great introduction for kids to the concept of different types of doctors。 I love the wide diversity of ethnicities and gender throughout - it's perfect for my young niece。 Great！ This book is a great introduction for kids to the concept of different types of doctors。 I love the wide diversity of ethnicities and gender throughout - it's perfect for my young niece。 。。。more

I think this is a great book to read with children。 It is very informational and gets them thinking about what they want to be in the future。

This is a great book to introduce students to a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to become a doctor。 It also introduces our students to a variety of different doctors at a hospital as well。 The book is read from a young girl's perspective when her brother Jack hurts his foot。 His family takes him to the doctor where he encounters a variety of different doctors。 The text in this book is simple and the illustrations are engaging and exciting for students。 The perspective on this book can al This is a great book to introduce students to a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to become a doctor。 It also introduces our students to a variety of different doctors at a hospital as well。 The book is read from a young girl's perspective when her brother Jack hurts his foot。 His family takes him to the doctor where he encounters a variety of different doctors。 The text in this book is simple and the illustrations are engaging and exciting for students。 The perspective on this book can also help our students have a less fearful view of going to the doctor and realize that hospitals and medical staff are there to help us and not hurt us。 This book can be a great one to read aloud to students to engage them on their thoughts but can also be a great one for students to read on their own。 The age range for this book would be ages 5-8 or Kindergarten to 3rd grade。 This is due to the simple text as well as not having the background knowledge of the variety of doctors in a hospital。 Students at these ages will be more interested in the text because they may not have a full understanding of what goes on at a doctor's office or hospital。 One activity for students to partake in would be to have them write "I want to be a" followed by a drawing and writing of what they want to be when they're older。 This can help encourage students to believe in themselves and have determination。 Students can also partake in an activity where they describe at least one doctor mentioned in the story and what their primary duties are。 This book is a great non-fiction book because it gives a relatable story to the students while providing a lot of information about a variety of doctors who they may encounter during their lifetime。 It can also help put students at ease when visiting the doctor as they see the young girl's brother display courage with his hurt foot and encounter a variety of kind doctors。 。。。more

I read the book I Want to Be a Doctor by Laura Driscoll。 One day a little girl's brother named Jack has to go to the hospital because he might've broken his foot。 While they are there the little girl decides that she really wants to be a doctor and learns that there are many different types of doctors。 She meets many doctors while she's there with a mission to find what kind of doctor she will someday be。 She learns about what they do and what a day in their life at work is like。 This book has v I read the book I Want to Be a Doctor by Laura Driscoll。 One day a little girl's brother named Jack has to go to the hospital because he might've broken his foot。 While they are there the little girl decides that she really wants to be a doctor and learns that there are many different types of doctors。 She meets many doctors while she's there with a mission to find what kind of doctor she will someday be。 She learns about what they do and what a day in their life at work is like。 This book has very colorful pictures but they are not very detailed。 They do give the general idea of a hospital but it's not a lot of details like I said and the pictures are mostly small。 The picture also gives off the impression that they are very busy which I think is good because it sets the setting well。 The text is easy to understand and Ina normal font。 The pictures do a good job of showering Ng what is going on in the story。 I like this book because I think that it is a good read for learning about different jobs。 I also think that teachers could use it when learning about different types of doctors so that children know who does what which would make a great class activity。 I really like this book because it reminds me of when it was career day at school and I would get to read these kinds of books and meet the people in that career。 I remember looking forward to career day because I wanted to meet all the guest speakers like the doctors and police。 I think this book was a good read， would teach good lessons， and can be memorable like it was for me when I was little。 。。。more

A great introduction to the variety of doctors in the field of medicine。 Although it's an early reader， the text makes for an excellent read-aloud without being too vague and simple。 A great introduction to the variety of doctors in the field of medicine。 Although it's an early reader， the text makes for an excellent read-aloud without being too vague and simple。 。。。more

A very educational book to read to children。 It is a great book to introduce what doctors are what they do to children。 A cute book to show that the hospital and doctors are not so scary。

Mayra Harrison ，

This is a wonderful book to read to children。 They talk about different types of doctors。 This is an easy book for children to read themselves。

Jenna Wichterman ，

When a child is injured where do they go？ A story about all the different types of doctors in the world and how one child wants to become a doctor when she grows up。 A great addition to an early elementary class as an individual read。 This book is about encouraging young women to dream big for their future aspirations。

Shawn ，

This Is The Best Book That I’ve Ever Seen！Thank you for writing this book。 It has all sorts of cool doctors and My mom and I REALLY liked it。

Candace Worrell ，

The diversity alone makes this a winner， but it was also a nice intro to drs， hospitals， and medicine。

2/16/2019 ~ A lovely mix of information about different types of doctors and the story of a family's visit to the ER for a boy's broken foot。 I felt tension as I wondered what would happen with the little brother。 I also was interested in the kid language to describe each of the doctors the little girl encountered。 The characters in the book represented a wide range of ethnicities and skin tones。 2/16/2019 ~ A lovely mix of information about different types of doctors and the story of a family's visit to the ER for a boy's broken foot。 I felt tension as I wondered what would happen with the little brother。 I also was interested in the kid language to describe each of the doctors the little girl encountered。 The characters in the book represented a wide range of ethnicities and skin tones。 。。。more

I thought that this was a cute book。 A good book for beginner readers。 The author took the time to talk about a few different kinds of doctors。 I would recommend this book to others。

DaNae ，

An exploration of the medical profession on a first grade level。 Not overly enticing， but it gets the job done。

A nice introduction to what kinds of doctors you may encounter during an emergency room visit。 Our narrator's little brother injures his foot and needs to go to the ER。 She meets several different doctors along the way and also gets a little tour from one of the doctors。 As this is an early reader， the author uses the simple names to describe the doctors， such as bone doctor， but there is a glossary in the back for those that want to know the technical name like orthopedist。 I enjoyed the illust A nice introduction to what kinds of doctors you may encounter during an emergency room visit。 Our narrator's little brother injures his foot and needs to go to the ER。 She meets several different doctors along the way and also gets a little tour from one of the doctors。 As this is an early reader， the author uses the simple names to describe the doctors， such as bone doctor， but there is a glossary in the back for those that want to know the technical name like orthopedist。 I enjoyed the illustrations and appreciated the diversity of the doctors， including both genders and several ethnicities。 A nice selection from the "My Community" series of "I Can Read！" 。。。more
