Picture Books We Love: Nurse Nancy and Doctor Dan

My kids love to play doctor, sometimes too much!  Matthew and Jonathan, such patient patients, fortunately have survived many rigorous examinations!  If your kids like to play doctor as much as mine, then they might also enjoy reading these books!


Nana gave us this book because she thought it was pretty neat since my mom's name is Nancy and she is a retired nurse!  We think about Grandma Nurse Nancy whenever we read Nurse Nancy.  In this story, Nancy, who loves to play nurse, is able to help her brother Tom, who has fallen and hurt himself.  Then, Nancy and her three brothers, Tom, Billy and Dan, spend the entire afternoon playing hospital, using their wagon as an ambulance.  This book even comes with two bandages:)


I bought Doctor Dan The Bandage Man for the girls for Christmas using some Borders Bucks because they enjoyed Nurse Nancy so much!  In this book, Dan scratches his finger in a big cowboy fight outside, but Mom cleans and bandages it up.  The next day his sister Carly's doll gets hurt.  Dan bandages her up just like Mom had done for him!  Then, he does the same for Carly and their dog Spotty.  With all this practice, he is even able to help Daddy when he cuts himself with the lawnmower blade.  From then on, Dan becomes known as Doctor Dan, the Bandage Man!   This book also comes with two bandages:)

And, if you are interested in a good doctor set, this one has been in service for two years now in the Mobley home!
