Children’s stories that entertain, educate and reassure both parent and child about common childhood illnesses:
Vomiting     Diarrhea     Fever      Sore throats     Colds     Earaches

Known as the Dr. Hippo Series, this collection of stories is about: an elephant with an earache, a polar bear with a cold, a frog with a fever of 104°, a giraffe with a sore throat, and a moose with vomiting and diarrhea (gastroenteritis). Each adorable animal gets (and gets over) his or her illness with the help of a kindly pediatrician hippopotamus named Dr. Hippocrates.

Each book in the Dr. Hippo Series is 32 pages, hard cover, full color and includes a separate laminated Parent Guide written in question/answer format. The Parent Guide answers common questions like: “How can I keep my child comfortable?” and “When should I call the doctor?”
