Publishers Weekly *Starred Review It's unlikely, however, that readers will want to revoke Doctor Ted's license he is, after all, an earnest bear cub, and his unwavering self-assurance in the face of adult certitude is too much fun.”
“. . . a breezy story about pretend play that's laugh-out-loud funny. The prose is snappy but sympathetic to the outsize ambitions of its hero, while the pictures' chunky ink lines and almost neonlike digital colors give every page plenty of punch.”
Horn Book “Beaty’s lighthearted story shows that creative play can be stifled but not defeated. . . “
“If only more physicians would adopt his prescription philosophy. ‘Take two cookies,’ he tells his teacher when she sprains her ankle. Chocolate chips beat ibuprofen any day.

“Doctor Ted, written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre, is a delightful picture book about a resolute young bear who takes playing doctor seriously”
“This book is laugh-out loud funny.” “Andrea Beaty's tone is perfect - not mocking Ted, but taking him seriously, in a 100% kid-friendly manner.”

“Doctor Ted is a charming picture book for the young reader.”
“Beaty’s wry humor shines in her optimistic text. Illustrator Pascal Lemaitre's rounded cartoonish animals and colorful pages complement Doctor Ted's journey through his day of healing perfectly. Read Doctor Ted aloud to a group of children (kindergarten is perfect) and let the pretending (and laughter) begin.” |
