Doctor Squash: The Doll Doctor

Doctor Squash: The Doll Doctor

by Margaret Wise Brown

Summary: Doctor Squash has always taken care of the sick and injured dolls until, one day, when Doctor Squash himself gets sick, all the dolls get together to help him get well.

Though lengthy, this book is appropriate for young children who are ill. This book may decrease the anxiety some children feel when visiting the doctor. A parent can reassure the child that if toys are brave when the doctors come, they can be brave, too.
