Description

Iggy finds out that his snoring and sore throats are caused by his marshmallow-like tonsils. Surgery is unavoidable. His journey through the surgical process is full of inquiry & fear. His fears are alleviated by learning about the realities of having surgery. His experience, literally, becomes an eye-opening adventure! "An accurate portrayal of surgery framed in a way children can understand. A great book for parents to read to their children in preparation for surgery."-Ira Buchwald MD, Pediatric Anesthesiologist "Dr. Bhatia's book takes a potentially scary experience and turns it into a fun adventure. The story, complete with great illustrations, is a wonderful way to introduce surgery to children. A must read for any young child who needs an operation."-Julie R. Glasson MD, Pediatric Surgeon "What a great book! I like the style and simple language. It addresses the questions and fears that we see daily in the surgical environment, keeping the text positive and upbeat. The explanations are simple and comprehensible for young children."-Verlia Gower MD, Pediatric ENT Surgeon
