Age range 3+Zeki is never daunted by new experiences. Daddy and Mummy prepared him well, so he' s excited to show the doctor all the things he can do now he' s a big boy: drinking from a cup, standing, clapping, playing, eating and being ever so brave. He well deserves the book and sticker he gets at the end for being such a good boy!' I think this book is brilliant and we are all pleased to have been introduced to Zeki. It is a book that explores new experiences in a very inviting and simple way, embracing the diverse world in which we live in. ' - Mama Filz, Book Blog
BookTrust, This new addition to the inclusive Zeki series mark developmental milestones for toddlers of Zeki' s age, such as drinking and eating independently. It is an ideal book to share with little ones of the same age, whether by parents, carers, nurseries or health practitioners. ; Books for Keeps - Elizabeth Schlenther A warm and happy picture book that shows us a loving black family experiencing a normal everyday happening in the life of any family with young children. While a paperback, the paper is very strong, and the fact that the corners are rounded will make it difficult for young children to poke themselves or others in the eye. An excellent book for families and for surgery waiting rooms - good for toddler groups as well. ; Jill Bennett' s Reviews of Children' s Books Lulu' s little brother is now a playful toddler drinking from his own cup and feeding himself. It' s the day he' s going for a health check and having helped pack his bag, Daddy and the infant are ready to visit the clinic. Once there they have to wait their turn so Zeki is glad he' s got his favourite Mister Seahorse to play with. Zeki is happy to show what he can do; he' s weighed and measured, has his eyes, ears and heart checked and is given a jab to help him stay healthy. He leaves with a well-deserved sticker, a new book and a cheery farewell wave from the health practitioner. Full of warmth, reassuring, and as with all the books in this series, inclusive and beautifully portrayed. Definitely one to add to the bookshelves of those with toddlers be that at home or in a nursery setting
