It seems very good to me that there is a series of books aimed at children on health, the benefits of good nutrition, and also that they have beautiful illustrations, it is one of the most important aspects. Good job

I've strongly believed that the most essential and basic skill every human should aquire is personal hygiene. This children's book attempts to teach kids the importance of self cleanliness in a fun manner. I commend the author greatly. Congrats on the BOTD!

This book resonates less with me than the others. I grew up with the idea that playing in mud boosts the immune system. Since the author made the book available for free, I will still read it to see if maybe I'm mistaken with my apprehension.

I love this series and how it educates our young ones of the importance of health in our everyday lives. I can't wait to find out the reaon behind Hilda's illness according to Doctoroo and friends. Congratulations to the author on book of the day.

What a fun way for kids to learn why their parents want them to wash their hands or cover their mouth when they sneeze etc. I'm excited to share this with my grandson! Thank you for your review!

It’s been so fun to see all of Dr. Wellner’s books lately. This one, just as the others, is super cute and I love the focus on hygiene for kids. I love the pictures. Thank you for your review!

Attention about self-care on proper personal hygiene in the form of educating children will save mothers or both parents from always worrying about their kids health in general. Great review.

Quite promising book series with much to offer to its young readers. From my experience, the adventures of lovable characters are the best way to gain the interest of children and while my kids are too big, I intend to get these books as gifts for friends' children. Congrats with BOTD!

I like how the author can incorporate both the fun part needed in children's books and also able to talk about the importance of hygiene. This will help kids not to only find the book interesting but to actually learn how to take care of their health by being clean regularly.

Personal hygiene is the only way to ensure that a person does not get sick or spread sickness to others. I am glad to see a book that teaches children where germs can be hiding and how to prevent themselves from getting sick. Thanks for the review!

The book sounds interesting. Unfortunately kids and hygiene are two opposite terms and it is really good that this book teaches children the importance of cleanliness and healthy habits. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting children's story about a kangaroo doctor that must figure out why an opera signing hippo is hacking and coughing. It appears to be designed to teach kids about hygiene. It might be worth a second look especially for parents with young children. Well done.

This children's book dealing with personal hygiene sounds like it is cleverly written and illustrated. I am sending out positive vibes for the "Doctoroo!" series to get in the hands of many, many children. Great review!

"Doctoroo! & the Case of the Hacking Hippo" by Dr. Rachel B. Wellner is a short book for children with an emphasis on the importance of maintaining hygiene. The book is richly decorated with extraordinary illustrations, while the story is concise.
