Thank you Netgalley for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

This is a short story with beautiful illustrations.
A great message for kids

Lovely little book that would be well placed in any Hospital Department waiting area or ward. It would be very calming and reassuring for a very young child visiting or in a hospital. I received this as an ebook so of course it wasn’t interactive, but it still thought it well balanced and beautifully illustrated.

This is s simple but lovely book about different roles within the hospital.
Its a great book to read to children to get them used to the thought of a hospital visit so they know what to expect.
Illustrations are lovely and colourful too.

I received an advance copy of, People who help us: At The Hospital, by words & pictures. This is a cute informative little book for kids, showing them people who work at the hospital what they do, how they make you better. Just a really cute story.

An fun cutout book describing some aspects the jobs people have at the hospital. Simple, informative, vibrant, engaging, this is a good book to teach children about those people who help us be well.

This book had cute graphics and rhymes on different people who help out at the hospital, from doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc. I wish it had more examples though!

This is a cute little book that tells us a little more about the people who work at the hospital.

The illustrations in the book are lovely and my daughter thought that they were great.

It is very brief and for me it could do with a few more pages but what is there is great.

It is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended!

Review to come November 1st on blog/Goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I spotted this adorable and sparkly looking book over at Netgalley and was instantly curious about it. I love books about the hospital and this one promised lots of fun, so of course I had to click the read now button and I couldn't even resist waiting another day to read it. I just had to read it immediately.

In this book we see all about the hospital. What happens there. Who works there. What kind of things can you see there. We see someone get put in the ambulance. And we don't just see the nurses and the doctors, we also see the porters who bring around tea and drinks and food, who help with the people. I had a big fun time reading and I definitely approve and love the last message on the page and how bright and colourful the pages were!

The illustrations were very nicely done, as I said I fell in noticed this book because of the cover and I can tell you the illustrations within are just as adorable. I also love the use of the bright colours, it definitely makes everything pop out.

BUT, I am giving this book -1 star. Why? Because the book doesn't work in ebook. I loved the book, and I loved the message. But sorry, an interactive book just DOESN'T WORK in ebook. You have these window-thingies, I am not sure what they do, I just see that the images have stripes and that there is a hole as well. I did read something about interactivity, but I had expected something else since why would you give a reviewer an ebook ARC that wouldn't work in that format? It is a shame, but it did affect my reading experience and so I do rate on that.

All in all though, I would like to try this book in physical form and see what the interactivity is and what kind of fun things we will see. And I would recommend this book as well.. however don't get this one in ebook. Just don't.
