      Starred review from April 1, 2021
      Grades K-3 *Starred Review* The In Our Neighborhood series (6 titles) introduces readers to community helpers and the work that they do in far more detail than most series on this topic. Each volume is set within the same fictional neighborhood (map included) and framed by a fictional story involving best friends Theo (Black) and Emma (Asian American). In this entry, Theo hurts his foot during a soccer game and is taken to the hospital. There readers accompany Theo from waiting room to exam room--where Dr. G�mez looks him over thoroughly--to the radiology department, where an x-ray reveals a small heel fracture. All these events unfold with just the right amount of detail, both in the text and in the cartoon illustrations, to help dissipate much of the fear and anxiety children might feel over visiting the ER. Most spreads also feature a photo "pinned" to the page with a fact about doctors or hospitals. A Q&A between Emma and Dr. G�mez, tips for staying healthy, and a visual spread of doctor's "tools" conclude this helpful volume.
