*以轻松漫画的方式帮助孩子们了解我们为什么需要看医生，以及在医生在看患者的时候到底在做什么！

我为什么需要体检？我的头好痛——让它好起来！孩子们可以探索常见医疗实践和程序背后的科学和历史，并学习健康问题、治疗方法和医学突破。这本图文并茂、寓教于乐的非虚构类图书是作者的第一本书《披萨、泡菜和苹果派》（Pizza, Pickles, and Apple Pie: The Stories Behinds the Foods We Love）的配套读物。

常见的儿童疾病和损伤以及治疗或护理方法可能会引发一些疑问。本书提供了答案，展示了从古至今人们如何学习理解和护理人体。小读者们将穿越时空——有时是数千年——来到世界各地的文化中，了解医学突破是如何以及为何发生的。他们将一路遇到医学史上的关键人物，包括早期不使用麻醉剂的外科医生和寻求人体解剖学知识的盗墓者。抗生素背后的科学和缝合线的工作原理是这本引人入胜的书中众多主题中的两个，本书还包含适合课堂和家庭的项目和活动。

作者上本书的好评：

Praise from Richie’s Picks: “Pizza, Pickles, and Apple Pie will readily lend itself to multicultural food discussions, related classroom cooking projects, and food-sharing activities. Young readers will enjoy the cartoonish digital illustrations featuring tons of food, multicultural characters, and a cartoonish Thomas Jefferson chowing down on his beloved waffles. Try it! It’s good for you!”
