Advantages: very reassuring for worried kiddies

Disadvantages: none

'Topsy and Tim Go To Hospital' is written by Jean and Gareth Adamson. It is one of the many adventures of the two twins which first began to be published in 1960.

In this story poor old Tim has bumped his head and needs to go to hospital to have it checked out. He stays on the children's ward, has an x-ray and makes lots of new friends. He has such a great time that Topsy feels left out and decides that she needs to go to hospital too, with a sore tummy. Topsy is soon cheered up by Tim's homecoming and a surprise present from Dad.

'Topsy and Tim Go To Hospital' is one of the most useful books from the Topsy and Tim series when it comes to helping children cope with new experiences. Any child would be terrified going to hospital for the first time and I think that this sweet story could be very reassuring.

This book is published as a Ladybird hardback. It is 32 pages long and measures 17.4 x 12 x 0.8 cm. The pictures and bright and clear, and are on every page. It's a very sturdy little book and our copy is still looking good despite many reads and enthusiastic flick throughs by 2 year olds! It has an RRP of £2.50, which I think is very reasonable, but can be picked up for less than this on Amazon or from Tesco. The story is really suitable for children aged between about 3 and 7.

Summary: a charming story
