Usborne Going to the Hospital

Gift for grandchild

We have a little girl who was going to have an operation. We wanted a resource to prepare her for the operation that wasn’t scary or overwhelming. This little book is a lovely way of introducing the topic of hospitals and has been great for learning about what she may do/see/feel. Perfect for children!

Bought this for my 3.5 yr old to help prepare her for an operation. So glad I did! It’s been perfect for talking through the whole process. The pictures are a wee bit old fashioned - eg the nurse uses an old style thermometer and takes Ben’s pulse manually - but that didn’t matter at all. My wee one loves the story and it’s definitely helped get her ready for her op.

My daughter was due for an operation so I wanted to get her a little book to read with her to prepare her & this was just perfect! Luckily she was having an operation on her ears which is the same as the book. It definitely helped & id definitely recommend

I found the content helpful but I feel that some of the information was a bit dated.
