The book taught about cleanliness and that individuals should learn to wash their hands regularly, especially when exposed to dirty things or after activities such as using the toilet, playing, gardening, and interacting with people.
- A fun-filled, educative book and a review to match it. Thank you!

I love the Doctoroo series. I would definitely like to read Doctoroo! & the Case of the Hacking Hippo. This time it looks at Sydney. Each Doctoroo book focuses on a specific place like Hawaii. It's really interesting to read and the colourful pictures are the icing on the cake. Thanks for the detailed review

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your review of "Doctoroo! & the Case of the Hacking Hippo" by Rachel B. Wellner. It's great to see how the book focuses on educating children about proper hygiene in a fun and engaging way. The author's attention to detail, such as using the present tense and incorporating colorful illustrations, demonstrates their consideration for the target audience. The story sounds both entertaining and informative, emphasizing the importance of washing hands regularly and other hygienic practices. I found it interesting that the book also provided educational tidbits about places like the Sydney Opera House. Overall, your review has piqued my interest, and I'm looking forward to getting a copy of the book to share with young children in my life. Thank you for the insightful review! :) :)

The sample pages were very well well-written and will make a child curious. I loved the concept of this series: teaching children good hygiene and good habits with the help of animal characters. Especially after Covid, we have learned to be more careful about keeping our hands clean. Children will learn a great deal from this book. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Looks like a very enjoyable book for children, I like that you can read it as a folktale; I find the topic of hygiene to be very impactful in children's life, it could change their perception on hygiene.

The primary function of the book is to educate children on personal hygiene and specifically washing their hands after engaging in activities that could cause germs to adhere to their hands. A good description of how to effectively wash one's hands is included. Some facts about the Opera House in Sydney are mentioned and the book is interestingly illustrated.
