In the story, Brother and Sister Bear have to go to Dr. Gert Grizzly to have a checkup. Brother isn't too bothered by the whole thing, but Sister is a bit worried. The next day Sister is able to help out some frightened younger cubs while she is in the waiting room and sets an example for all the children to follow.
Overall, a delightful little book that helps relieve children's fears of going to the doctor and gives them a broader perspective about life.
It is a good book to read to your kids if they are going to be going for their first check-up or anytime.reviews: page 1, 2It's time for a routine check-up with Dr. Gert Grizzly.
