Going to the Doctor with Pawchester Pups

By Mauri Kunnas

With the Pawchester pups, going to the doctor will not feel so intimidating now that the delightful characters show how to take care of yourself.

Pawchester pups are very active with their daily endeavors and hobbies, therefore, they also experience minor accidents or fall ill. Not to worry, though, as the pups get the help they need. In the company of the Pawchester pups, going to the doctor’s and overall being under the weather is not a reason to worry as the reader gets to follow the characters taking care of their wellbeing.

This adorably illustrated new book addresses the fears of visits to the doctor and presents the most common illnesses experienced by children, as well as shares informative advice on being healthy. This new title by the celebrated Mauri Kunnas is written together with pediatricians for an informative and reassuring read.
