What is a cold? My son asked. I read him this book and the illustrations kept his attention and explained to him how it feels to have a cold.

As always, response was excellent. Received the shipment within a week and in excellent condition.

Katie the polar bear is excited to be skating in the Ice Show. But a few days before the big event, she comes down with a cold. She doesn't have a fever, but she's sneezing a lot. Will she be better soon so she can skate?

In Katie Caught a Cold, Dr. Cowan shows kids and parents the best way to treat a common cold. She explains why antibiotics are almost always unnecessary and over-the-counter medications don't help. Her advice for a quick recovery is rest and fluids.

The story is beautifully illustrated by Katy Bratun, and also includes a guide for parents in conquering the common cold. I highly recommend this cute and informative story for all families with young children.

Reviewer: Alice Berger, Bergers Book Reviews

I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE the Dr. Hippo series of books! They are a must have for any parent or those who care for young children.

The stories are easy to read and understand for children. The artwork is colorful, cheery and adoable.

I found the parent information section in the back pocket a must have. I learn a lot about everyday ailments that I never knew before.

I love these books!

Dr. Hippo continues with his warm and reassuring ways, ultimately teaching Katie's mom (and readers) about appropriate management of common colds. My own 3 year old daughter has bumped this Dr. Hippo story to #1 on the reading list--she loves the beautiful illustrations and looks for clues from the other Dr. Hippo books throughout (keep an eye open for Eddie the Elephant!). Parents and kids will really enjoy this one!
