The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor (First Time Books) Paperback – Picture Book, October 12, 1981

I love this book because it is short but it has a lot of words. I think that all little kids will love it a lot more than I did! Have fun kids!

Bought this for our child to ease their anxiety about going to the doctor. Helped tremendously and really prepared them for what to expect. The story also helped take the fear out of the poking and prodding with the different medical instruments. Well written, great pictures, and helped facilitate a good conversation between parents and children! Would recommend for any little headed to the doctor!

Great for kids

amazing

I bought this book to help my 2 year old overcome her fear of visiting the doctor’s office. Once she started remembering that she was going to get vaccinated, she would cry at every appointment even during the physical check before her shots. The sight of a nurse would make her burst into tears!After hearing a recommendation from a family member about this book, I thought I’d try it on my almost 2 year old before her 24 month doctor visit. We read it 2 days before her visit and it made a significant impact! We even brought it to her appointment and read it while we were waiting. She was so excited to get her heartbeat checked, her temperature taken, and to lie down on the bed. She was able to get through her appointment without freaking out and even handled a finger prick blood test without a budge or a tear! Now.. side note, she did end up crying when she got her vaccinations, but the big difference was she only cried after the shot and not before and through the whole process. Her apparent fear of her doctor’s visit was not an issue anymore and that was my main concern.Some things I liked:1. Includes usual parts of a routine doctor visit. (Waiting room, stethoscope check, weigh-in, measuring height, etc)-This is so helpful because it’s relatable and helps your child anticipate their own appointment!2. Overcoming shots-This is gold right here. The main reason I bought this book was to show my daughter that shots are quick and she’ll be ok once she’s done.3. Stickers-great incentive for your child when they have a doctor’s appt!

Classic children's book, however I've found that it's the parents reading to the children and the children (at < 3 years) are not yet picking up to read on their own. I'm going to see when they start picking up on their own.

This book will help to allay the fears of both children and adults. It is helpful to explain why you should see the doctor even when a child is not sick.
