Why A Parent Will Like What to Expect
When You Go to the Doctor

Ms. Murkoff validates children by treating their questions and anxieties with respect and seriousness. Her straight forward answers with wonderful accompanying illustrations help put to rest any fears children may feel about visiting their pediatrician.

Synopsis

With the help of Angus, a very friendly-looking pooch, Heidi Murkoff very straightforwardly answers the common questions children have about the inside of a doctor's office, about getting a shot, what happens at a "check-up" and more. Angus also gives some helpful information which he emphasizes with his paw print. Angus gives suggestions on what to do while waiting for the doctor, for example.

Esphyr Slobodkina has recreated an old folk tale about a peddlar selling caps and a band of monkeys who have their own ideas for those hats, monkey business. Ms. Slobodkina's bright colorful illustrations of the gray, brown, blue, and red caps all balancing on the peddlars head and then on the heads of the mischievious monkeys adds to the fun of Caps for Sale.
