Join Doctor Fairytale and her sidekick Nurse Pup as they visit poorly fairytale patients who need their help!
My name is Doctor Fairytale, I'm always super busy.
My list of patients is so long, it sometimes makes me dizzy!
In a magical land full of familiar faces, Doctor Fairytale and her dog, Nurse Pup, travel far and wide to help the injured and poorly!
Rapunzel's head is hurting from her mother climbing her long locks, Goldilocks has splinters in her bottom from the Bears' broken chairs, and Cinderella has blistered toes from walking home without a shoe!
But no matter the bump or bruise – and no matter how mischievous the patient! – kind and capable Doctor Fairytale is ready with her doctor's bag to lend a helping hand.
I love the playful treatment of the fairytales and the way Catherine Jacob cleverly adjusts some of their endings, something children will delight in I’m sure…A gem of a book to share with those who are already savvy with the original stories. * Red Reading Hub *
