Dr. Hippo Stories
Dr. Hippo Stories by Dr. Charlotte Cowan
Dr. Hippo Stories are about common childhood illnesses: cold, fever, ear infections, sore throat, and vomiting and diarrhea. Each picture book includes a separate Parent Guide written in question/answer format. The Parent Guide answers common questions about children's health issues and offers parents advice about how to comfort children at home and when to call the doctor.
Through her animal characters, Dr. Cowan not only entertains her audience but also combines empathy with education. Reading her stories, children and their parents will feel comforted and cared for as they face together the inevitable illnesses of childhood.
Furthermore, because not all parents in America read English well, Dr. Cowan has matched the illustrations of her stories to the questions and answers in her "Parent Guides," which are included with her books. This visual relationship should help to cue parents and enable them to focus on areas of concern for them and their child.
