As with all his books, Fred Rogers has great pictures with simple reading and directness. The children can see what a hospital looks like and talk about why someone might be in the hospital. Pictures of doctors, nurses, equipment,.etc.

"going to the hospital isn't a punishment" egads did anyone think so? badly outdated. scary x-ray table. I didn't like this one. It was a little to high-handed and lacked sympathy.
Most of the time, children feel unhappy to go to hospital, in this book it describe what children would do if they go to hospital.
