A cutesy board book designed to help families prepare young children for a doctor's visit using a familiar character.
This book does what it is designed to do, and that is to prepare young children for a trip to the doctor. It normalizes the event using a familiar character and soothing illustrations. However, as a just for fun book, it is lacking in catchy, fun rhymes and interesting prose that make most children's books so engaging and charming.

We both liked this book for a long time, though it's been supplanted in recent months. I'm not crazy about the words but like the illustrations so I make up my own words. (e.g. Why should my 1-year-old be hearing that Corduroy has gained too many pounds from eating cookies? He doesn't know what cookies are, and at 1, he could stand to gain a few pounds...)
Daddy read Emerson this one tonight. A cute story about how Corduroy enjoys going to the doctor. Corduroy plays in the waiting room, then is called in, he gets undressed, he is weighed, measured, examined ("say "Ah", Corduroy"), and finally gets a shot. He leaves with a balloon and a bandaid and a sticker. Very real in its depiction of a pediatric appointment. Good message. And a portion of the book sales go to children's medical issues.
I really like this book. This book helps children know that going to the doctor does not have to be scary. This is a great book to use for children who have a fear of going to the doctor.
Extention: An activity for this book would be for dramatic play, prenteding to go to the doctors office.

This book is about this teddy bear that likes to go to the doctor and he have to breath and know what to do. When he was finish he got a ballown and a button from the doctor
I love the corduroy series--he is somehow strangely likable tho' not cute teddy bear
Effective in influencing toddlers to be friendly with their doctors.
Very easy read for my 16 month old. He loves pointing to everything then finishing the book quick.
