The children's book Doctoroo & the Case of the Hacking Hippo was written by Dr. Rachel B. Wellner during the COVID-19 pandemic. Doctoroo gets invited to the concert featuring Hilda Hippo. Doctoroo accepts this invitation and shows up at the concert with her friends. Hilda Hippo begins to cough and hack during the concert. A puzzle that Doctoroo and her companions must solve. Will they discover the reason for the well-known opera singer's coughing during her performance and be able to treat her in time for her appearance before the Queen of England? Learn more by reading this wonderful book.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the author wrote this children's book to instruct kids on how to stay healthy while the virus is still circulating. The book describes a well-known opera singer who has a cough, which is a sign of COVID-19, and how they might avoid getting infected.

A beautifully written children's book that provides a wealth of knowledge for the little reader. This book, for instance, covers more ground than just infections and how to avoid them. They are taught two types of singing: solo, which is for one vocal, and duet, which is for two voices. It's never a bad idea to know a little bit, right?

I genuinely adore every aspect of this book. It was written clearly and with simple vocabulary so that kids could grasp it more easily. I'm glad there weren't any obvious mistakes, too. I think children will adore the lovely pictures the author included in the book, which will help keep them glued to it. All things considered, I give this book five out of five stars rating. Children can read this clever and humorous book to pass the time and chuckle.

I believe this book is for everyone and has something to teach and share for everyone; thus, I would suggest it to everyone, but especially to kids.
