Despite the negative aspects stated by the reviewer, I still come to the conclusion that the book is engaging, teaching, and interesting. This is the type of book I would get for children around me. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

I'm already done reading this book. The author has a good idea for telling children about the benefits of healthy food. At an early age, discussing nutrition is a good way to help children understand why it is necessary.

I actually read and reviewed this book pretty recently and I thought it was really cute. I think Rachel Wellner did a really good job in terms of teaching kids the best ways to be eating!

The author and illustrator's advocacy draws attention to children's health and nutrition, which are global concerns. I think a children's book that combines fun, suspense, and learning is fantastic.

I love the illustrations of the book, however, in my observation, it's a bit hard to familiarize the characters, especially the friends of Doctoroo. From my point of view, reading this book needs the help of parents and guardians for children to understand the story. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

One of the standout aspects of this book is its engaging storytelling. Dr. Wellner has a knack for capturing the attention of young readers through vivid descriptions and a well-paced narrative. The plot unfolds in a way that keeps the readers curious and eager to turn the pages, as Doctoroo follows clues, meets various quirky characters, and unravels the truth behind the Picnic Pirates.
Dr. Wellner's writing style is accessible and engaging, perfectly suited for its target audience. The language is age-appropriate, with just the right amount of descriptive language to paint a vivid picture without overwhelming young readers. The inclusion of colorful illustrations further enhances the reading experience, bringing the characters and settings to life.

The reviewer's mention of the rhymes in Louie's song really piqued my interest. It's amazing how a well-crafted rhyme can make health education enjoyable and memorable. Despite some minor concerns, I'm still eager to give this book a read and experience the fun, educational journey it promises!

Dr. Rachel's aim to educate is noteworthy. I love how the book teaches on nutrition and good manners and behavior. Every child will takeaway something from the story and is a book every child should read.
