The Moose with Loose Poops
Image by Penelope Neal © Hippocratic Press Four-year-old Miles develops a tummy
ache while on a family picnic in Maine.
His planned camping trip with Papa
(complete with canoeing and fishing) is
postponed when throwing up (oops!) and
diarrhea (loose poops) develop. Mama,
Papa and Lucy Moose take excellent care
of Miles at home. Of course, they are
helped by their kindly pediatrician,
Dr. Hippo, who advises that fluid is the
best medicine for Miles. Will Miles
recover in time to go camping with Papa
under a special, star-filled sky?
In this story for children ages 2-7,
Dr. Cowan offers a clear and childfriendly
explanation of gastroenteritis. A
board-certified pediatrician, she captures
the misery of tummy aches, caused first by
vomiting and then by diarrhea, and writes
to educate, entertain and comfort her
small readers—as well as their parents.
Getting Through Gastroenteritis
A Guide for Parents
 Image by Penelope Neal © Hippocratic Press Slipped into the back of this book,
Dr. Cowan’s Parent Guide answers those
common questions that inevitably arise
when parents are taking care of a child
who is either vomiting or having
diarrhea—or both. Her answers reflect
her years of practice as a pediatrician. She
draws on her experience as a doctor and
as a mother as she reassures parents about
what is wrong and offers advice about
what to do. Getting Through Gastroenteritis even
includes helpful charts about how much
fluid to give your child and when to call
the doctor.
