Ted, a young bear, bumped his knee as he got up and realized that he needed a doctor. Not seeing one anywhere, Ted decided instead to become a doctor himself.

Somehow no one appreciates his help, until an incident at the playground shows exactly why every school has room for another doctor.

Ted needs a doctor but he can't find one. So he decides to be one but the staff at his school aren't impressed with his doctor advice. That is until an accident happens. Cute story, good for sick/illness/doctor storytime. I love it at the end when an accident happens and the principal is yelling 'Call an ambulance! Call the fire department! Call the library!" and on the next page an ambulance arrives, the fire department comes, and the librarians come with books in their hands and on their ...more

Ted the bear can't find a doctor-- so he becomes one. He can't find patients--so he creates them. His enthusiasm becomes quite annoying to his teacher and principal (diagnosed with gingivitis and halitosis). But when a friend falls off the playground equipment-- they sure are glad there's a doctor around.
An aside:
Love how they call 911 and the fire, police AND librarians show up!

Neither glares nor germs nor a principal's rage can squelch the earnest examinations and ridiculous remedies of a well meaning young bear in this cheekily illustrated school yard lark.

Ted hurts his knee but there is no doctor around. The only thing he can do is become a doctor himself. He goes around school giving medical advice, only to get in trouble by his teachers. But when an accident really does happen, Doctor Ted is there to save the day.

Cute picture book -- Ted just wants to be a doctor, but no one will let him practice medicine on them. Fortunately, he gets to come to the rescue for real one day on the playground. Of course, my favorite quote is, "HELP! Can an ambulance! Call the fire department! Call the library!" (and the librarians arrive behind the fire truck, carrying books on their heads!).

This is a brand new picture book that reads like a classic. Doctor Ted has all the traits of a typical 3-4 year-old: he's single-minded, optimistic, and sweetly obstinate. All to charming effect! The text and art are packed with deadpan humor that kids and adults will appreciate even more on their inevitable re-reads. I look forward to Ted's future adventures.

"You have the mups," said Doctor Ted. "Crutches could help." "Those are my cheeks," said Mrs. Johnson. "Eat your lunch."
Good news is, if you want to be a doctor in this book, you just wake up one day and decide to be one.

This one made me chuckle aloud several times. Doctor Ted can be used for older preschoolers, K-3 and for teacher collections. It's an entertaining story adults will find humorous too. This can be used for community helpers, a bit of a stretch, but it will work.

Funny, deadpan humor and a lot of fun to read out loud. Even though the illustrations look simple and for younger children, this will appeal to a wide range of ages. I hope we see more from Doctor Ted!
