Product Description
Four year old Miles develops a tummy ache while on a family picnic in Maine. His planned camping trip with Papa (complete with canoeing and fishing) is postponed when throwing up (oops!) and diarrhea (loose poops) develop. Mama, Papa and Lucy Moose take excellent care of Miles at home helped by their kindly pediatrician, Dr. Hippo. Of course, Miles recovers in time to camp with Papa under a special, star filled sky.

My Review: If you have a sick child, this is a superb book.  The author included a parent guide to help parents know how to handle gastroenteritis.  My second graders related to this book and it was very timely, as upset stomachs are running rampant in our classroom.  The illustrations are colorful and match the text well.  I would recommend this book for preschoolers, or children who have an upset tummy for the first time, although as I said, my second graders loved it and ask to read it during free time.  I would have loved to have books such as this when my children were young.
