Hello, Doctor

Bonjour !

by Michaël Escoffier, Matthieu Maudet (Illustrations)

What happens when a wolf goes to the doctor?

It's time to visit the doctor, and everyone is in the waiting room. The doctor treats a crocodile and an elephant first. Next up is a wolf. Will the doctor survive his cunning patient?

In the waiting room, strange things can happen--and it's not necessarily the doctor you should be afraid of! Children who love funny stories and guessing what might happen next will enjoy this clever and entertaining board book.

So ein süßes pappbilderbuch! Der Arzt geht alle Tiere gleich an und die Zeichnungen sind Zucker.
Mein kleiner findet es noch nicht so spannend aber ich denke das liegt eher an seinem Alter 😀

I came across this book by chance the other week in my husband's bookstore. I had our 4 month old grandson with Me, and decided to read it aloud to him. Not only did he follow along intently, he laughed hysterically from start to finish. He is now 5 months, and my son and his wife sent video of his bedtime ritual, which includes reading this book. He still laughs at all of the jokes. He seems to get the irony! He's 5 months old! Now, granted, he's a genius..., but still.

The publisher really should use the video as advertisement. It's all kinds of cute. And, you really don't have to be 5 months to appreciate this book. It's simple and well done.

This children's book appeals to my dark wit. I read this to my 5 year old nephew who found this book completely hysterical. I believe he has inherited my brother's and my sense of humor. "Strange things can happen at the doctor's office!" Read this delightfully silly book to every youngster you encounter and enjoy the laughter.

Deutsche Ausgabe:
Zuerst scheint dieses Bilderbuch ganz lustig zu sein, doch der Verlauf und das makabre Ende passt für mich einfach nicht zu einem Buch für Kleinkinder. Ein Pappbilderbuch in diesem Format ist meistens maximal ab 2 Jahren, dieses hier ist vom Verlag ab 3 empfohlen, ich vermute wegen des Inhalts. So gehen Format und Altersempfehlung schon auseinander. Schwarzer Humor, für den ich die Zielgruppe eher bei Erwachsenen sehe. Wie Rotkäppchens Märchen, in dem der Wolf am Ende alle gefressen hat und das war’s.

Nous voici dans la salle d'attente d'un docteur. Ce dernier appelle les patient.e.s au fur et � mesure ("Au suivant !") et soigne leurs bobos. jusqu'� ce que vienne le tour du loup...Voil� un petit livre pour enfant plein de suspens et d'humour aux illustrations simples et efficaces ! Mon fils de 30 mois adore r�p�ter "Au suivant" et nous lire l'histoire selon sa propre interpr�tation !

libro adatto ai piccolissimi ma anche ai bimbi della materna, una storia simpaticissima di quanto sia dura fare la fila dal dottore se con te in sala d'attesa c'è un lupo!

This was again more fun for me than for Meredith. She liked the colors, but (of course) she didn't understand the story. I will be sure to read it again with her again when she's older!

Il primo libro preso in biblioteca

super funny, I bought it

A funny board book about animals waiting to be seen by the doctor. The doctor remedies a few ailments, but fails to notice that a few patients sitting near the wolf have gone missing. When it’s the wolf’s turn to see the doctor, the poor doctor doesn’t stand a chance.

Colorful drawings depict some funny situations and clue readers in on action that took place between the turn of a page.

Hands down one of the funnier board books I’ve read in a while. I like that the story and illustrations work together to develop reading skills by having readers reach conclusions about the fates of some characters and predict what will happen next.

So my toddler randomly picked this book up at the library for me to read to him. When we finished, he said "Again!" And I did, and enjoyed it even more the second time. You know a kids book is really good when the parent enjoys hearing "Again!" at the end. :)

Genre spanning books are often polarizing, ending up a terrible unholy union or elevating to a new level. This book falls into the latter camp. Who knew mixing a medical comedy and a murder mystery could work out so well. It's like Ripper Street meets Scrubs.

Il ne faut pas avoir peur du docteur ! Il nous fait nous sentir mieux !

hilarious board book, funny ending, animals stuck in bad situations- elephant chewing gum, alligator with a lollipop stick stuck in his mouth.

[Summer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh the irony! Definitely not what I expected from a boardbook!

[Carrie Gelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this when I especially needed a smile and it certainly delivered. A board book that adults will certainly enjoy and children will giggle repeatedly!

So cute! Great colorful pictures, funny, and unexpected.

[Julie Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about animals that go to the doctors office. The doctor gets eaten by a wolf at the end.

[Megan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This board book is so hilarious. A big bad wolf in doctor's clothing.

[Frances · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uno de esos libros para niños que no es para niños.

[Roxanne]

This is hilarious! Although my 4yo was more mortified by what happened at the end.
