It is important for children to learn about germs at an early age so they develop good hygiene practices. Thank you for your review.

Like the other books in the series, this one focuses on health topics. In this case, proper hygiene is the center of the mystery that Doctoroo and her team should figure out. The mention of specific places such as the Sydney Opera House is an added value.

It would be fascinating to learn all about the new medical mystery that Doctoroo and her team would have to solve. Would they be able to help Hilda recover from her illness just in time for her to perform for Queen Harriet of England?
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

This sounds great. It inculcates on a child’s mind the importance of good hygiene by washing hands properly every time it’s needed. These Doctoroo series is amazing, this time it’s set in Sydney Australia.

Congrats on the BOTD!
This show's premise is to use animal characters to teach kids proper hygiene and healthy behaviors. We have discovered the importance of keeping our hands clean, especially in the wake of COVID. This book is full of valuable lessons for kids.

I appreciate the reviewer's emphasis on the author's thoughtful consideration of the audience. The use of the present tense and the folktale-like storytelling style indicate a genuine effort to engage and captivate young readers. Congrats on BOTD.

The continued use of short, snappy sentences will keep more restless children engaged throughout. The book presents lots of information in an accessible and easy to understand way for children of all ages, for example what mold is and its effects. Colourful illustrations accompanied an overall enjoyable and educational read.

The reviewer's detailed description of the plot and characters has piqued my curiosity about Doctoroo and the mystery surrounding Hilda's illness. I'm genuinely interested in finding out how Doctoroo tackles the situation and what the cause of the problem turns out to be.

A book that educates children about hygiene us a heavy yes for me. Children are very susceptible to infections as they are easily exposed to harmful bacteria, fungi, and even viruses on the playground. Although it helps them build their immunity, some may be very harmful. Thanks to the reviewer for a well-written review, and to the author for an insightful book. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

The illustrations are so creative—animals wearing clothes and displaying facial expressions, lol. I have no doubt children will love the book because of that. The health focus of the story is also a reason to recommend this book. Nice review.
