Katie is happily skating with her friends when she begins to sneeze. She soon develops a bad cold. Will she be better in time for the Ice Show? Her mother takes excellent care of Katie at home, checking in with their pediatrician, Dr. Hippo, when Katie starts blowing “green stuff” into her tissue. Won’t she need antibiotics? Katie needs to get better—and fast!

In this story for children ages 2-7, Dr. Cowan empathizes with children who are feeling miserable with a cold. She understands about their stuffiness and sneezing, feeling tired and thirsty. In Katie Caught a Cold Dr. Cowan illustrates the comforting care that can help children feel better and thus reassures both parent and child.
