An accessible, informative, and humorous introduction to the power of medicine for young readers.

Uh-oh--Raccoon feels blerg and ick. Read along as he and his friends do symptoms checks, get examined, get diagnoses, and each, in turn, get the medicine they need. Readers will learn that medicine can make you feel more comfortable, help you heal, help prevent you from getting sick, and more. Written by nonfiction maven Gabrielle Balkan, and vetted by both a pediatrician and a nurse practitioner, this conversationally informative text incorporates comfort and humor, in partnership with Alberto Lot's emotive, comical character art. A truly enjoyable read that will leave readers better equipped for their next germy experience!
