Goodreads

A five-page lift-the-flap book to find the Nurse/Paramedic/Orderly/Doctor/You (foil mirror). Felt flaps were nicer than the usual paper. But content was not great; text reads like what it is (fairly generic, from a publishing company, not an author). Digital illustrations were not comforting (a kid sick in bed with a nurse wheeling an IV, or a speeding and worried looking paramedic), and choice of words, in my mind, was odd. For the age (0-3), a warmer intro to the concept of nurses and doctors would be welcome, but the words “paramedic” and “orderly” felt like mouthfuls for that age level. Not a must have.
