Good-Bye Tonsils!

32 pp. | Viking | June, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-670-89775-2 $$15.99
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Marilyn Mets. A first-person account of a tonsillectomy by the child-author and her father, this book evenly presents the steps from diagnosis through surgery and recovery. Illustrated with mostly pastel, somewhat sketchy pictures, it offers realistic details followed by the optimistic conclusion that because the increased attention is good, the worst thing about a tonsillectomy is that "you can only do it once."
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
