Description

Little Iggy finds out he has to have his marshmallow-like tonsils removed.  His journey from Dr. Anthony's office, to the operating room & back to his Mom & Dad's arms is, literally, an eye-opening adventure!

Written by a pediatric anesthesiologist, this is a delightful book to help parents & children prepare for the surgical experience.  

“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
