This book describes what might happen if a child needed to stay in a hospital. It doesn't really talk about what a doctor does and why, or what tools a Dr uses, etc. The book is called "I Want to be a Doctor", but it doesn't talk about being a doctor at all. It would be best used to help ease the fears of a child who needed to enter the hospital for a surgery or something.My daughter LOVES to play doctor and is really interested in being a doctor, so I thought that she would love this book, we just didn't get what we expected with this one.

Our family really enjoyed this book because it is realistic, easy to understand, and has good role models. The pictures are well done and promote discussion, and the text is just right. A favorite with both the parents and our six-year-old twins (a boy and a girl).

"I Want to Be..." books are a great series and I am collecting as many as I can find. My daycare really like them and request them to be read a lot. They look through them independently and enjoy the real pictures and have easy understanding.

This book has real photos, which is a plus. The text matches the photos.Those are the only positives of this book. It has no flow. It tells no story. It does not follow basic non-fiction design of topic and details. The author randomly makes negative statements like "The hospital can be scary" or "Getting shots hurts." Validating those fears for children is useful, but not when they are random. *If* there was some sort of flow or plot to this book, then it would be ok.

I am a preschool teacher, and I'm always looking for books. I was excited to see "I Want to be a Doctor", until I opened the book. EVERY doctor in the book appeared to be caucasion. There was one shot of a woman with darker skin with a little girl, holding a stethoscope, but she was not wearing a lab coat or scrubs, was facing away from the camera, and could have been the girls mother. To say I was dismayed is to put it mildly. The lack of diversity in this book renders it unusable to me as a preschool teacher. Children's book should make all children feel welcomed and included in all books, and all career paths.

My 4-year-old spent some time in the hospital and now wants to play doctor all of the time. This is a great book for her to read, if a little "old-fashioned".
