by John Priest (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars (9)
A true story told in pictures to help your child understand their Hospital visit. A visit to the hospital can be an anxious and stressful time for kids. It can be just as stressful for the parents too! What do we need to take? Do I need a change of clothes for my child? Will they get bored? What games shall I take? Will I need money? What will the Doctor ask? Do I need to take something to eat? This is a great hospital book for kids and is based on a young child's real experiences. It contains a story, a Hospital checklist (what to take), useful games & tips to keep your child (and you) as stress-free as possible.

Review

Reviewed By Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite

Hospitals have a purpose: to help people get better. But they can be scary places, even for grownups. A child is easily frightened by all the people, the noise, the comings and goings and, of course, all the tests that they do. If a child is very sick and requires a visit, or even a lengthy stay in a hospital, it's good to be prepared with drinks, snacks, and lots of good story material to keep the child content, comfortable, and entertained.

Jack was surprised to discover that he had to go to the hospital. It all started while walking to school, when his knees suddenly hurt so badly that he couldn't walk. The next day, Jack's knees were swollen. His parents took him to the hospital and the doctors and nurses did all kinds of tests, including an x-ray, which Jack was allowed to see. Everything and everyone at the hospital were super-nice, helping Jack relax during his ordeal. The story never explains what the diagnosis was, but we do learn that Jack's hospital visit wasn't quite as frightening as he thought it would be.

Based on a true story, John Priest's picture book story, Jack Goes to Hospital, is a compassionate look at one child's hospital visit. Using colorful illustrations and simple, but effective language, the author helps the young reader learn about hospitals in general and why they do certain tests. It is also a reassuring story, as the author clearly points out that hospitals are there to help people, not to frighten them. Jack's visit to the hospital ended up being less frightening than anticipated, and it actually turned into a little bit of an adventure and a learning experience. This is an excellent book to help young children who need to visit hospitals on occasion or for longer periods of time.

About the Author

John Priest has been writing for children since 1985. He has two daughters and lives with his wife in the UK. Most of his time is now spent with his wife and their five grandchildren, telling them stories, playing and acting like a five-year-old. This story is based around the real-life events of Jack, his eldest grandson, who was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Uveitis and Hypermobility at the age of four. A difficult and tough four years later, Jack is winning most of his battles with the illness. He goes to Hospital on a regular basis and at just eight years of age, is fully prepared for his examinations. Jack and John hope that this book helps your own child's visits to Hospital, and that both you and your child can use the story and tips to make your trip to Hospital less stressful.

John Priest - born in the West Midlands, UK.

John is an experienced writer of children's books.

His latest book is for the grown-ups! It's a Science Fiction/Dystopian/Thriller, titled i4Ni and looks at the 'science fiction' that has now become 'science fact' - Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm and this story asks many questions, like this one; if someone creates a humanoid able to tell if someone is guilty of a crime or not?

Sounds great doesn't it? But what if the person creating the humanoid has other deadly ideas for his creation? How would anyone know...?

    I received a free copy of this book and I voluntarily am giving a review for this book.

    I think this book is fantastic for kids and parents to share. It has parental information in back of story and the story itself can help a child feel safe about going to hospital.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    Kindle Unlimited, says grade P-2, looked it up online, still no idea but guessing from the to hospital {brits don't bother with the 'the'} is British, but from the appearance of the 'child' would assume that does not fit, and for possible 'american' school would be k-2 and that is still not very old at all. The story was decent but too simplistic, not that expected anyone to rattle off medical stuff, but don't see that really helping a child or a kid to not be scared.If they were older child, as it appears from the drawings, they wouldn't be that freaked out over a hospital, but they usually have more what/why questions. As something as serious as this situation would be in real life, was way simplistic for a sorta kinda but not really explanation of what was going on with the kid. The end of the book had some interesting information, but again it was information that needed to be a bit less simplistic and also since most things would be the parents' responsibility or something they would be doing {not the kid} not sure why it was in a book that was directed for a much younger audience.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hospital admits can be very stressful
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017
    Format: Paperback
    I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review.

    Books to help children and their families cope with being in the hospital are very important. It happens to many families, but rarely "yours." It's scary and unfamiliar for everyone.

    This book is very positive. I wish proper terms for bodily functions were used throughout, but the tests were honestly described and encouraging.

    The story itself is followed with a guide for items to bring. This is very helpful, although we add a few to the list as well (such as vending machine change, charging cords, toiletries).

    It also contains some simple games for children to keep them entertained. This is an excellent addition.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A realistic and reassuring story of illness, diagnostic procedures, and recovery for young children
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017
    Format: Paperback
    What a comfort for Jack to have his parents at the hospital with him, and for the kind medical staff to explain the procedures before they are carried out! The story doesn’t tell us exactly what was wrong with Jack. However, we do know that he’s a real person—and that at some point he graduated from using a wheelchair to performing what looks like a fancy dance step. This reassuring little story has activities for children at the back of the book as well as helpful tips for parents.
    A donation is made to the Birmingham Children’s Hospital for each book sold.
