I like that Dr. Amar saw 30 patients in a day, and he sounds super busy.

The book was pretty cool, but I kind of wish they added an ambulance.

Two of the diagrams in the book look like my X-ray.

This book depicts a doctors role and I use it as a starter to find out what the children know about doctors and what they would like to learn. I am not to pleased with this book as it features gender stereotypes.

Introduces many different kids of patients that doctors have to examine. Great for discussing doctors offices and visits with child.

Doctor Amar helps many children throughout the day and even sees 15 children in the afternoon. Readers will learn new medicals terms, too.
