Froggy Goes to The DoctorBy Jonathan London
Ages: infant to preschool
Publisher: Penguin Young Readers Group, October 2004
ISBN-13: 9780142401934
Froggy is going to the doctor for a checkup, and he's feeling a little nervous. "What if the doctor wants to give me a shot?" he thinks. He worries as he dresses and then he can't sit still in the waiting room. Finally, it's time to go in and change for his exam, but . . . OOOPS! He's forgotten his underwear! And that's just the beginning of Froggy's hilarious doctor visit that ends reassuringly with a gold star and a lollipop.
Just Going to the Dentist (Look-Look)
Just Going to the DentistBy Mercer MayerAges: 1 to 6
Publisher: Random House Children’s Books, March 2001
Mercer Mayer's very popular Little Critter is on his way to the dentist. It's a thorough check-up, complete with dental x-rays. When Dr. Ghum insists on filling a cavity, Little Critter goes through it bravely. The visit is painless to the reader because of Little Critter's funny, honest way of look at things -- including the world of dentistry.
You just say the word "shot" and kids start screaming and crying. Best advice is to be honest but not scary. I tell the child that a shot will feel like a mosquito bite and I either play with them or read to them while the nurse or doctor gives the shot.

My only problem is that in "Froggy Goes to the Doctor" the child gets a lollipop?! How can healthcare professionals distribute sugar? Stickers, crayons, and ballooons are better rewards than food and certainly better than candy!
