When four-year-old Miles Moose begins to feel ill on a family outing, Mama Moose wisely takes him home, reassures him and begins to gently prepare him for the effects that the “little storm” brewing inside his stomach will wreak. Her calm responses to his vomiting and diarrhea, and the simple explanations she gives him for these experiences, make “The Moose with Loose Poops” the perfect vehicle for parents to teach young children about gastroenteritis.
This “read-to” book for children ages four to seven will both educate and comfort – and kids will be delighted to be encouraged to talk about “poop.” The parents’ guide tucked into a pocket in the back cover of the book, “Getting Through Gastroenteritis,” provides a quick reference for moms and dads dealing with the infection for the first time, explaining how to recognize the symptoms, how to protect other family members, how to treat the patient, when to call the doctor, and when to send the child back to daycare or school. Author/pediatrician Charlotte Cowan has provided an enjoyable book for children and a useful tool for parents. The charming illustrations by Penelope Neal will entertain and amuse young patients as they learn about gastroenteritis.
Parents will also welcome help provided by the other books in Dr. Charlotte Cowan’s “Dr. Hippo Series”--“Peeper Has a Fever,” “Sadie’s Sore Throat,” “Katie Caught a Cold” and “The Little Elephant with the Big Earache.”
