This book was very helpful, especially the checklist. It helped us explain the procedure to our 5-year old. I feel that we were better prepared after having read this book.

Our son was not quite 3 and had been suffering from chronic tonsillitis for over 2 years when the decision was made to take them out. He was generally good at doing things it he had been talked through them so I asked our Dr if there was a book to help him prepare for the operation, but he didn't know of any. I found this book on Amazon.com and even though we only had 1 week to prepare him for the operation it was worth the international shipping to get it delivered.

I had thought the book would be a story for us to read but it is more for the parent book to read. It does have pictures so you can "read it" to them. What I liked most was that it covers all aspects of the operation, and I found being reminded of the small details (such as wearing a gown, the cold operating table and the machines in the operation theatre) were things which I would not ordinarily have thought to tell my son. He had so many questions, "why do they need to be taken out?", "where to they go once they have been taken out?". This book help me have the answer to those questions and the confidence to answer many others.

He was fantastic, the model patient especially after speaking with other parents I whose children had freaked out and kicked and screamed before theirs (even some who were older). He was cracking jokes with the nurses while waiting to go in and sat quietly on my lap when they administered the gas to knock him out before giving the GA.

I have passed this book onto our daycare so other parents in the same situation as us. I also took it to our ENT who was very impressed and now has copies for his patients.
