Nurse Kirby Koala and Dr. Marsha Roo (Doctoroo) played basketball as Louie watched. Bernie Bear’s electronic device rang, informing the team of a desperate situation at Bear Foot Park. Bernie Bear brought news about the Potomac Pirates’ sickness and requested Doctoroo to help the cubs. However, when Doctoroo and her team arrive, she is unable to diagnose the cause of the cubs’ sickness at first. She eliminates all the possible causes and just when her team is almost despairing, they establish the main reason for the cubs’ sluggish behavior.

Doctoroo & the Case of the Picnic Pirates by Dr. Rachel B. Wellner follows Doctoroo and her team’s journey to Washington, D.C., where her medical skills will be tested. She must also work against time, as the Potomac Pirates are set to perform at the July Fourth Picnic, celebrating America’s independence.

The author’s simple vocabulary choice will enhance children’s understanding of this book. Her diverse choice of characters not only reinforces the protagonist’s agenda but also shows children the importance of unity in achieving success in society. The book also communicates several healthy habits, such as avoiding too much screen time and getting enough sleep.

This book merits the maximum rating of five out of five stars for its excellent presentation and insightful storyline. Through this book, Rachel teaches children the importance of eating healthy food. She advises them that maintaining a healthy body requires always following a balanced diet during all meals. Parents also learn the detrimental impact of letting their children have too much junk food.

Rachel also included colorful illustrations that complemented her narration. This is what I loved the most about this children’s book. I did not find a grammatical error, confirming that the book was exceptionally edited. There is nothing I liked the least in this book and I recommend it to children between the ages of two and nine.

The diverse characters and colorful illustrations sound like they make the book engaging and relatable for children.
I believe in something greater than myself.
