This book explains the experience for being in the hospital during a illness to reassure children on how to deal with family being sick. Estimated age group 3-5 years

The book Going to the Hospital by Anne Civardi is about a young boy that has an earache and can't stand the pain anymore. The young boy tells his mom about his earache and she immediately goes to the hospital to get it looked at. Once the doctors took a good look at his ear, they had all decided that it would be a great idea to send him into surgery. The young boy had a scarce face when he found out that he was going into surgery shortly. His family and friends made him feel a lot better about going into surgery by telling him only good things would come out of getting surgery. His ear would feel all better by the time they were done and he would feel good as new. The young boy built up enough courage to go into surgery and like his family and friends said he felt good as new when he came out.

This book is a great book for young children to read before going to the hospital. While reading this book it can show young children that it's okay to go to the hospital and that it's a safe and inviting place to be.

I would recommend this book to any child under the age of six. This book isn't very complicated and the older children might loose interest in the book half way through. It's a great book when teaching young children about places that they might be afraid of such as the hospital.
