I have now fallen completely in love with the Doctoroo series by Dr. Wellner. It is amazing how she combines fun and learning for children. They truly need to learn and master good hygiene to prevent cases like Hilda's. Beautiful review.

Another amazing children's book! Teaching little ones about hygiene is very important and necessary as they can fall ill really quickly. The author did an amazing job of executing this important lesson and teaching them in a fun and attractive manner with amazing pictures.

Children love playing in the mud without caring if they will get sick. This book will serve them well and educate them on the importance of maintaining proper hygiene. With colourful pictures that children love and excellent illustrations they learn a lot about hygiene. Nice review.

I'd have been astonished if Wellner didn't tackle hygiene in this series. You're right about kids being terrible at it. It's a wonder they survive childhood!

Doctoroo saves the day once more! I laud the author for her mission to teach children healthy habits. This is the third Doctoroo book that I've encountered. The doctor and her ragtag team grow on you. I've seen the Opera House and would love to remember the experience.

The second out of four books series and it's such a shame that I simply have no use for children's books currently, no matter how great they are described by the reviewer. It takes exceptional work to keep children's attention focused long enough to teach them life-long lessons, so I sincerely congratulate the author on a well deserved BOTD!

The vivid illustrations and captivating storytelling in Doctoroo! & the Case of the Hacking Hippo make it a must-read for kids. I'm excited to uncover the mystery behind Hilda's illness and how Doctoroo's team tackles it.

Doctoroo and her team travel to Australia to solve another medical mystery and teach the colorful characters about self-care. This is an excellent book to teach children about good hygiene, especially in the midst of the pandemic. Well done, Mate!

Kids might think that cleaning up after playing is a huge duty. In this book, Doctoroo entertains and teaches children about the value of doing that.
