Getting ear tubes is a common procedure for young children. This procedure can bring about many fears about going to the hospital. This book explains in a developmentally appropriate and in-depth description of the step-by-step process of getting ear tubes. It also addresses common fears that children may have due to myths or stereotyping of the hospital. Great introduction to this surgery and can be a good resource for any parent to have for children having to go through this. ( )

This book gets major points with me, because I had ear tubes and didn't have a book to refer to. By telling the story of a fictional boy, it describes how this simple process is helpful rather than scary. I would definitely use it to explain ear tubes to children. ( )
