Important moments in childhood are depicted lightly, but effectively, in a funny question-and-answer format.
Does a hippo go to the doctor? Does a zebra? Everything young readers need to know to prepare for a checkup with their doctors is laid out humorously and realistically.
Comparing and contrasting such outrageously silly moments as a hippo and a child saying "ahhhh", the author and artist effectively capture important moments of childhood and lay the groundwork for dealing with new experiences.
