Recently we received a new book series written by Charlotte Cowan, M.D. and the girls love them!  Heck…I love them!  This book series revolves around a Hippo who is a Doctor. 

peeper-illoAll of the characters in the books are animals, each animal comes down with a common childhood illness.  The illustrations are fun and intriguing.  The girls were even able to piece a lot of the story together from the images on the pages.

Each book covers a different condition that most kids have experienced themselves.

  • Colds-Katie Caught a Cold
  • Earaches-The Little Elephant with the Big Earache
  • Fever-Peeper Has a Fever
  • Sore throats-Sadie’s Sore Throat
  • Gastroenteritis-The Moose with Loose Poops

    I like that they are written to help children understand what’s happening to them when they go through a childhood illness. It’s also great that they come with parent guides to give tips on what to do to help your child feel better without antibiotics unless they’re absolutely necessary.

    The Moose with Loose Poops is just a hillarious title. I like they teach kids about minor illness (which seem major to a child!) and having a parent’s guide.
