About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about an upcoming check-up or when they are in the mood for a story that flips expectations on their head. While many books focus on the clinical process of a doctor visit, this story uses absurdist humor to demystify the power dynamic between authority figures and patients. It creates a space where a child can laugh at the absurdity of a waiting room instead of fearing the exam room. The story follows a wolf who visits the doctor after swallowing several other animals. It is a witty, slightly dark, and highly entertaining tale that rewards observant readers who look closely at the illustrations. It is perfect for children aged 3 to 7 who enjoy 'gotcha' endings and can handle a bit of slapstick peril. By turning a routine visit into a comedy of errors, it helps normalize the experience of waiting and visiting a community helper in a lighthearted way.
