Produktbeschreibung

Every day at the hospital is a new adventure for Cricket, and today is no exception. She and her handler are on the neurology floor visiting nine-year-old Braden, a young boy with epilepsy. Can Cricket help Braden cope with a blood draw and other important tests and procedures in the hospital? Join Cricket and her handler to find out more about Braden and explore epilepsy. Therapy dogs are specially trained to help kids through medical experiences--from lifting spirits, motivating movement, modeling the power of play, and more. Nonfiction back matter provides more information about medical topics introduced in the books, from acute to chronic issues, while also proving more information about therapy dog programs and the Mayo Clinic Children's Center.
