Baby Medical School: My Doctor's Visit: A Doctor Book for Kids (Back to School Gifts and Supplies for Kids) (Baby University)

Awesome Childrens Series!
The Baby Medical School series of books to include this book, "My Doctor's Visit," as well as "Bacteria and Antibiotics," and "Vaccines" are some of the best STEM books I've found for my young children (ages 3-5 years old). I'm a U.S. Army veteran and a premed biochemistry undergrad student and after reading about the authors I'm excited to see what other books they publish. Their books have just the right amount of terminology to introduce complex subjects to young kids without confusing them or losing their interest. The illustrations are great; they turn everything from doctors tools, to macrophages into cartoon characters while still retaining the form that identifies them as to what they are. Thank you to the Authors for this amazing series.

Funny, warm, encouraging....with solid science
I wish this book had been available when I was selecting the collection for a new elementary school library some years ago. It would definitely have found a spot on the shelf! Free of stereotypes, accurate, warm and encouraging, gender neutral--it checks all the right boxes. Smiley-faced doctor tools and giggling organs (when the doctor palpates them) make this book fun and appealing as well as medically sound. The text encourages children to feel brave and proud for taking care of their body and, in closing, gives the child a future perspective by suggesting that "You might become a doctor some day." I bought a copy to donate to our local public library's children's collection.

Great Conversation Starter
My daughter and I really enjoyed this book. It sparked a lot of conversation about how our bodies work and also a surprising amount of dancing. She especially enjoyed the illustrations, particularly of her heart in workout clothes.As we were reading this book, I realized that she had never really thought about things like why we breathe. It is good to have a book like this to introduce those subjects. I have already pre-ordered the next two Baby Medical School books to get her thinking about vaccines and antibiotics.

Informative!
Love this book. Got it together with a doctor's/nurse's kit for my daughter who dislikes going to the doctor's. The only thing I wish it featured were actually people in the pictures, such as pictures of doctors and nurses. I'm not sure the kid is making a connection that it's about a doctor's visit.

Great job explaining the ‘why’ behind the doctor’s visit in a way kids can understand
Loved this board book! The illustrations are very colorful to catch younger kids’ attention, and they are also detailed (and accurate!) for the slightly older inquisitive minds that want to know how the body works. My 2 year old daughter loved looking and listening and kept saying ‘more’ and ‘again’ after we were done reading. I think the book simplifies complex processes well and does a great job explaining the ‘why’ behind certain things that are done at a doctor’s visit in a way kids can understand. I especially like the joke near the end. Definitely highly recommend!

A little hard for preschoolers but great book
Absolutely love this collection, I read this book all the time for my kids I just think that the information is presented in a way that is a little too hard for kids to understand. Or maybe my children are just too young for this collection, nonetheless I highly recommend this book.

Great series!
Thank you for creating the Baby medical school series. We appreciate the scientific accuracy. I see that you have a book on Bacteria and Antibiotics releasing soon. Do you have a book on Viruses, Epidemiology, public health, (USPHS) that we can place an order for? I think it will be very helpful for parents explaining the current coronavirus pandemic to children.

Love this book. I bought it for my 5 month old (yes, I know too young for the book). I also work in primary care and have considered purchasing a few for our office.
