Jessica's X-Ray

Six real "inside" images, reproduced on transparent plastic overlays, beg for an explanation, which is provided with an engaging read-aloud story that children will enjoy for its own sake.

When Jessica breaks her arm, the reader follows her on a tour of the hospital and has a chance to examine the same x-ray, CAT scan, MRI, and ultrasound images Jessica sees.

A gentle, easy-to-understand introduction to medical care for all ages, it also includes a key so older children can understand each image. 28 pages. Ages 3 - 8.
