Middle Fiction 8-12-year-olds

This title is one in a series of six brilliant new first experiences books about the Buttons family. Cherry has a cold but she doesn't want to go to the doctor. Her mum gently persuades her and when she gets there she finds it's not scary at all. In fact she has fun listening to her heartbeat on the stethoscope while Mum gets her medicine! Charming, funny picture books with gentle, non-didactic messages, the Buttons family will give children the reassurance they need to take their first steps in the world - whether it's going to the doctor, buying new shoes, visiting the dentist, starting school, staying the night at Gran's, or having a new babysitter for the first time. It comes with colourful and collectable stickers inside.
