This is a children's book with the purpose of comforting small kids who are terrified of hospitals. I don't know why my parents gave this to me because I can't remember ever feeling that way, but the book certainly gave me the creeps! I'm still not terrified of hospitals, but even now I feel uncomfortable browsing it. The main character spends the first half of the story either crying or hiding under her blankets and even though the ending is happy, the first scenes are the ones that set the mood for me. It doesn't help that when you close the book after the happy ending, it looks like the story begins all over again with another scary accident. (The back cover image is actually part of the first scene when you fold the book open, but who starts reading a book that way?)
I'm not saying it's a bad book - for me it just didn't work the way it was intended.
