A spoonful of imagination helps the medicine go down!
One Wednesday morning, Dani at Emergency Services takes a call: there's been a car crash. Daisy's arm is broken, Lisa's got a head injury, and poor Mr. Von Thunderhoof has chest pains. They're rushed by ambulance to the Hospital for Mythological Creatures, where a team of nurses, doctors, radiographers, and even porters spring into action.
As the patients are cared for, children discover how a real hospital works, from radiology to pediatrics, neonatal to ICU, through a playful, imaginative lens.
Packed with warmth, humour and fantastical characters, this Richard Scarry-esque book is the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down, conveying factual content with reassuring warmth and sparkle.
Cathy Evans' clear, engaging storytelling combines with Ed J Brown's lively illustrations to bring medical adventures to life.
