Dr. Hippo Book Series Review And Giveaway Ends 4/28 (US/CAN)

February 25, 2017April 14, 2010 by Vivian

As a new parent, I’m still struggling to master the art of motherhood. On the contrary, I never used to asking guidance from my relatives or friends. Since I found out that I was pregnant, I tried my very best to accumulate knowledge in my own way. Within the span of 8 months, I felt that I am well equipped and ready to face my newborn baby. I have one daughter who is 22 months old and if there’s Parenting 101 for Dummies, I will grab a copy but jokes are half-truth, so be it.

I was so happy to receive a set of Dr. Hippo Series from Hippocratic Press for book review. The Hippocratic Press publishes children’s books on children’s health topics. Each picture book has animal characters that get over common childhood illnesses with the help of a pediatrician, Dr. Hippo, and includes a parent guide, answering questions about children’s health issues.

We got a total of five books plus another 5 parenting ‘guide-lets’ that’s how I called it, technically, booklets. These parent’s guide-lets relate to each story line. Here are the brief overviews of my child’s (medically themed) animal tales.

First one, “The Moose with Loose Poops” from the title itself, you can tell that there would be some vomiting and diarrhea sequence within the plot. This is all about introducing to a child the cycles and the remedy for gastroenteritis, at the back of each child’s book, you’ll find the ‘Dr. Cowan’s Parent Guide’ that answers those question regarding this types sickness.

Next one, “Sadie’s Sore Throat” the story demonstrates that there’s clearly nothing to be scared about letting the doctor check their mouth, as they encourage our child to stick-out their tongue.

The third, “Katie Caught a Cold” and it’s about ‘colds’ that produces ‘green-stuffs’. I actually learned a lot from Dr. Cowan’s Parent Guide, she also suggests some helpful medications, pre-cautions as she educates the parents on the symptoms that we should be alarmed.

The fourth one, “Pepper Has a Fever” sympathizes with the common symptoms of fever like chills and aches. This story is well balanced, from the real facts on fever and how can we handle it, perfectly delivered with some sense of humor.

The last, but not the least, “The Little Elephant With a Big Earache” is a bout a baby elephant who wakes up with a terrible earache. It encourages our children to recognize the pain and persuade them to follow the necessary steps for the pain to go away.

I saw that my child appreciates the illustration as she imagines that she is the main character of the story. Now, she is fearless, she understands that pediatricians are out there to make every child feel better. Dr. Cowan’s Parent Guide provides a concise guidance it’s like FAQ when it comes to children’s common illness.

I highly suggest these Dr. Hippo’s Book Series. It will help us prevent serious illness, such as otitis media, dehydration, tonsillitis and more. There are times that I’m having second thoughts when it comes to fist aid. Now, I won’t have to send text messages to my child’s pediatrician every now and then. I can simply refer to Dr. Cowan’s Parent Guide. Visit www.drhippo.com and ease your worries as you train your child to be comfortable and friendly to their pediatricians. The stories are presented with creative compassion. You, your child, and your loved ones would definitely love it.
