I bought this little book to try to reassure my daughter of 18 months that the doctor's white coat was really scared ... A real success! Feeling safe away from the waiting room and comfortably on mom's lap, she was able to realize through Little Brown Bear the doctor did not want him well. I did not expect that this reading is as effective, I highly recommend it to all parents facing the same problem! Small precision for small hands not very sensitive, the pages are not cardboard, just a bit thick paper. :)
