I read this book in Dutch but will be writing my review in English. This was just so heartwarming and lovely and now I want a dog even more. XD Feb 25 2021 The hospital dog by Julia Donaldson. Illus. by Sara Ogilvie Macmillan Children's Books, 2020. ISBN: 9781509868315. (Age: 4+) Highly recommended. Look at the illustrations of Dot throughout the book. Can you create a variety of pictures of a dog in different poses and / or taking part in different activities? Această minunată cățelușă este cea care le readuce zâmbetul pe buze copiilor din secția de Pediatrie. Zilnic frecventează spitalul împreună cu stăpâna sa, Roza.

This picture book about a missing toy bear somehow seems like a classic already - with a lovely whiff of nostalgia about it all, while also feeling very current and gently inclusive. Graeme Hall said: “I’ve been privileged to follow highly skilled specialists behind the scenes at one of the country’s top veterinary hospitals recently, as they give hope to some very poorly dogs and their worried owners. It’s been an amazing experience and I can’t wait to share it with Channel 5 viewers.” I got the idea for this book when I was visiting a children’s hospital and saw a picture of their visiting dog on a notice board. I then found out that the dog Nala and her owner Sandy lived very near me, so I persuaded them to take me on a ward round. Here is a picture of us all. Julia Donaldsonin "Sairaalakoira Sole" (Mäkelä, 2021) on mukava kuvakirja dalmatialaisesta, joka käy ilahduttamassa lapsia sairaalassa. Ja hyvä työ myös palkitaan, kun Solen oma jalka joutuu kipsattavaksi!In new four-part series The Dog Hospital with Graeme Hall, he gains exclusive access to Willows Hospital in Solihull, one of Britain’s busiest and most advanced veterinary hospitals. After their breakfast and a swim in the sea, Dot and her owner Rose jump on the bus to the hospital. Dot loves visiting the children of Wallaby Ward and they’re always pleased to see her too; from a crying baby to a bored teenager – a pat, a stroke and a cuddle with Dot cheers everyone up. But the work of the hospital dog doesn’t stop there and when one of her patients is in trouble, it’s up to Dot to save the day! The NHS and dogs; each keeps the nation’s heart beating. Trust Julia Donaldson, the rhymetastic author . . . to put the two together in a story that barks to our age. [P]aired with the supremely talented Sara Ogilvie . . . whose beautiful, humorous ink drawings match perfectly the bounding words. [T]he rhymes fly, the heart jumps. It’s guaranteed to give children and parents the literary equivalent of a giant welcome home wag. Dot, a sweet Dalmatian, and her owner Rose, are doing wonderful volunteer work at their local hospital. Dot loves to go there and offer herself for pats, hugs and companionship to those afraid and hurting in so many different ways. This is a really nice story with lively illustrations. The story rhymes beautifully, and the story is engaging and makes us smile.

After the two prepare themselves for their day off they go by bus to the hospital. Wallaby Ward children's wing is waiting for their arrival and are always glad for their visits. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. Hospital Dog (2020) is the latest book from Julia Donaldson - this time out without regular stalwart illustrator/collaborator Axel Scheffler. The illustrations depict all the sorts of things children might see in a hospital, encouraging them to talk of charts, sanitiser, doctors and nurses. The comparison with Dot in her own form of hospital, recovering from her own accident, is a great lead in to calm children’s inexperience.

A warm hearted story, children will eagerly talk of their visits to hospital or the vet with their animals, opening the classroom conversation to illness and hospitals. For some who are hesitant about going into hospital, this book provides a model of just what a hospital is and who is in them, and shows the range of things which best children causing them to be taken into a hospital.
