good pick for a little one by Amick (NY)  4 Stars
June 10, 2007
This did help prepare my daughter for her surgery. There were a lot of things different from the book than what actually happened, though. As a general overview, it is good.

A good way to start talking about Tonsillectomy 4 Stars
May 28, 2001
It was criticial that I find a book on having your tonsils out, with my six- year old due to have his removed in days. "Let's Talk About When You Have To Have Your Tonsils Out" explained the basic facts of the procedure. It explains words like anesthesia and surgeon.The possibility of having to stay overnight in the hospital and that your throat may be sore afterwards,are mentioned, all very valid points. The pictures depict children in similar situations and with only twenty-two pages, nobody loses interest! A good way to talk about the procedure.
