Doctor Ted by Andrea Beaty; illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre (McElderry Books, 2008). ISBN:978-4169-2820-1 Kids will giggle their way through this charming picture book as Ted, a little brown bear with big confidence, launches his medical career. With one big bandage and an office with a waiting room, Ted is confident that business will be brisk, but even a house call to his mother fails to enliven his trade. Not until he reaches school does he find a ready (though sometimes less than willing) patient pool to diagnose and treat. Children will love the mismatch between diagnoses and recommended treatment and will identify with the familiar school settings populated by a farmyard of animal characters of various stripes rendered in brush and ink and digitally colored in an appealing psychedelic palette. With an underlying message of the power of personal confidence and imagination, Doctor Ted is sure to be a crowd pleaser when shared during primary story sessions and will leave kids guessing about Ted's next adventure as a fireman. Long live imagination!
