Book Description

5 and upK and upDK READERS
This Level 1 book is appropriate for children who are just beginning to read.

Doctor Amy Baker sees patients in her office. A mother brings in her little girl, who is crying. What is wrong? This unique Level 1 series accurately portrays real-life situations that help young children identify with and learn from while helping them improve their reading skills. Presented in classic DK style, young readers will enjoy photographically illustrated information in an entertaining package. For children who are just beginning to read and who have a limited vocabulary, these 32-page Level 1 books-about everything from tadpoles to puppies-use word repetition and simple sentences to convey meaning. Picture dictionary boxes with word labels "show" the meanings of words. These books contain between 400 and 450 words each, and they are 80 percent pictures and 20 percent text.

The Dorling Kindersley Readers combine an enticing visual layout with high-interest, easy-to-read stories to captivate and delight young bookworms who are just getting started. Written by leading children's authors and compiled in consultation with literacy experts, these engaging books build reader confidence along with a lifelong appreciation for nonfiction, classic stories, and biographies. There is a DK Reader to interest every child at every level, from preschool to grade 4.

1.0 out of 5 stars A bad story to read to your child, July 30, 2006
This review is from: DK Readers: Jobs People Do -- A Day in a Life of a Doctor (Level 1: Beginning to Read) (Paperback)
I purchased this book because there are others in the "DK Readers" series that are excellent (Police Officer, Firefighter, Weather). However, the inaccuracy of the so-called medical procedure paints a harmful picture for the age range intended. Part of the day of the "Doctor" includes a young girl who comes into the office complaining of a "bad stomach ache". The photo accompanying the examination shows the little girl lying on an exam table with the Doctor pressing on her stomach--directly below the ribs. The child's parent is then told that the girl needs to have her appendix removed. The appendix is not located just beneath the ribs, but near the pelvis on the right side of the body--very low on the torso...definitely not the stomach!!!!! It is irresponsible for a publisher to allow a book for pre-schoolers to go to press when the information in it is inaccurate and frightening! Why would you read a book to your child that would plant the thought that if he or she had a stomach-ache (and whose child hasn't) that an operation to take something out of him or her would be the result! Children this age take things very literally and would trust anything a parent would say or read to them--they haven't the experience to know that a "tummy-ache" is probably just the six scoops of ice cream they just ate, not an appendicitis.
