Driscoll distills complicated ideas about science professions into simple sentences for understanding and readability. A good choice as part of a series that can help establish a core collection of early reader titles.
An appealing choice from the My Community subset of the I Can Read series.
Jaunty, stylized illustrations support the story’s upbeat tone. From patients and visitors to staff, character portrayal is diverse in terms of race, age, and body type. An informative beginning-reader story from the I Can Read! series.
The illustrations are expressive, colorful and seem to flow through the different parts of the hospital... VERDICT: A solid addition prescribed for all beginning reader and community helper collections.
