Customer Reviews

a clean and simple world

Corinne Malvern's illustrations come from a time when Mother was always beautifully dressed, cheerful and infinitely patient, and the children were shiny and clean. However her illustrations do capture the movements and expressions of those children very well. I love all her books - Frosty the Snowman, Heidi, and this one. The word "joy" is very old-fashioned but so are her illustrations and so I would just say about this book, "Enjoy!"

My favorite book as a child.

I was thrilled when this book came back into print. My sister and I read it everyday. The new book even comes with band-aids, like in the fifties. I sent it to my sister as a get-well gift after a surgery. To this day in my family - when someone is sick or hurt we still say, "Better get Nurse Nancy." A classic.

Nancy Nurse

Loved Dr. Dan as a child and purchased it and this one for my granddaughters.

memories

I had this book as a child and when I was told by a friend that is was available again, I just had to get it. I remembered every word of the book and was so thrilled to see it still had the little red band aids. It was nice to see something from the past that hadnt changed. I even bought a copy for my friend.
