“This is just the resource that’s been missing from our medical room library!
Pitched to the younger child, this will go down a storm with our Reception children – I’m sure of it!”

“The book is simple yet effective. The instructions are basic and easy for children to follow. As a TEFL teacher I will be using it in class as the vocabulary is very clear.”
Michelle
“I think this is a very lovely book easy to understand for little ones. I like the idea of putting the details in the book so if they needed to call they wouldn’t panic trying to remember. The characters are very cute and they make for lovely conversation. Definitely one to recommend.“
Celine
“Excellent book for young children to learn some simple first aid but also would help if they are going into hospital, as it explains the staff and some of the items the nurse will use.“

“Recommend this book. The characters are child friendly and it has useful examples in. My children thought it was cute and would be very useful to have in the home to discuss basic first aid with younger ones. The book was great as it is written specifically for children and the examples mentioned are such important life skills that everyone regardless of age should have a little awareness about them and what to do in a potential emergency.
Great work. 5*”
Miss A Smith
“A fun little book with a real purpose.
As a first aider and first aid trainer, this book will be a brilliant tool for helping to teach youngsters the basics of first aid. The explanations are clear and the illustrations are great fun. I love the idea of using story to help with learning, especially with such an important topic.
Every child in the world should have a copy of this book!”
Matthew
Good for children to know how they’re treated when hurt or sick and also good for children that may be interested in one day going into the medical field. I also appreciated the fill in pages where you can input your local emergency number, address, and what you may be allergic to. Definitely recommend.

why did I create this book?
Children do save lives by knowing how to call an ambulance, as well as learning basic first aid skills, so I think it’s essential to know these from a very early age. ‘Nurse Bear Does First Aid‘ is fun and engaging, and it includes images of real-life tools and materials nurses use so kids can recognise and become familiar with them.
