We're Going to the Doctor cover

This engaging novelty book prepares toddlers for a doctor's visit, featuring Billy and Nell's experiences and helpful tips for parents. We're Going to the Doctor is a must-read.

Designed to ease toddlers into new experiences, We're Going to the Doctor is an engaging novelty book that introduces young readers to the process of visiting a doctor. Through the adventures of Billy and Nell, children can explore what happens during a check-up, including the waiting room, being weighed, and even receiving an injection. The interactive elements, such as flaps and mechanisms, make the experience enjoyable and relatable for little ones.

Parents and caregivers will appreciate the practical tips included throughout We're Going to the Doctor. These insights, endorsed by The Good Play Guide and Dr. Amanda Gummer, aim to support adults in guiding their children through potentially daunting experiences. The book serves as a valuable resource, helping to alleviate fears and build confidence in young readers as they learn about medical visits.

With charming illustrations by Marion Cocklico, We're Going to the Doctor not only entertains but also educates, making it an excellent tool for parents looking to prepare their toddlers for a doctor's visit. This book is part of the Big Steps series, which focuses on helping children navigate new situations with ease and comfort, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.

The Big Steps books are a great way of introducing children to different life skills and building their confidence and familiarity with doing them. Watching characters their own age experience different things goes a long way in letting children know that they are normal, healthy and not scary. The children enjoyed pointing to the different pictures, opening flaps and naming objects, which is fantastic for helping to build their vocabulary and prepare them for learning to read. The book is also sturdy enough for enthusiastic hands. Our testers found the little tips at the bottom of the page useful and in one case, they helped to transform a reluctant dresser into someone who is happy to get dressed most mornings! -- Dr Amanda Gummer * Dr Gummer's Good Play Guide *
