I'm Getting a Checkup by Marilyn Singer

Singer, Marilyn. I’m Getting a Checkup, illustrated by David Milgrim. Clarion, 2009. $16.00. PICTURE BOOK. What should you expect when you go the doctor? In rhyming couplets this book explains the procedures and instruments kids should expect at a well visit to the doctor. In a bolder font on each page, the author explains more about medical instruments like beam scales, otoscopes, and more. On the last page are several paragraphs with more information about getting a checkup. The illustrations were created with digital oil pastel and are colorful and appealing. A great book for any child who is interested (or nervous) about visiting the doctor. EL – ADVISABLE. Samantha, Public Librarian.
