Product Overview
by Sara Jane Books Children often are afraid of visits to the doctor, so having to go into the hospital for surgery can be even more stressful. But Surgery for Me? is a valuable tool that helps to transform the unknown unfamiliar medical instruments and procedures into concepts that children will recognize, making every step in the process less frightening, reducing stress and fear and resulting in better and faster healing. Join Rachael Marie as she visits the hospital to have her broken arm set and placed in a cast. For Rachael, the experience is more like a slumber party with clowns and balloons as friendly people walk her step by step through the admission and surgical preparation process.
