Ask the Doctor

“Ask the Doctor is a delight: fun, funny, matter-of-fact, reassuring, and filled with marvelous information. My own children are grown now, but they would have loved this book when they were curious youngsters! Honestly, they would probably love it still. I did.” 

“Dr. Choi has created a brilliantly entertaining and enlightening book, full of bonkers facts that kids will love (and learn) from!” 

“There's no one I trust more to help kids understand their bodies than Dr. Betty Choi. The illustrations, humor, and frankness of this book are sure to delight and educate children in equal measure. Parents can flip to the page that matches their child's most perplexing questions, like "Will my stomach explode if I eat too much?" and "Why is there corn in my poop?" For clear explanations accompanied by cartoon drawings, Ask the Doctor is the perfect resource for parents, teachers, and home educators!”

“Dr. Choi is back with another fun and engaging human body book for young readers. The questions addressed in this book are all things my kids have wondered, and the easy-to-digest answers are perfectly bite-sized. The energetic illustrations are the cherry on top. Perfect for all kids, especially ones who might be future healthcare workers.” 

“Get ready for a wild, wonderful ride through the amazement of how the human body functions! Dr. Choi takes questions that kids (and many adults) ponder about their bodies and the world around them and provides an answer to each curiosity with a fascinating, digestible answer that will really make sense to kids of all ages. From why some boogers are green to the color of pee to why our heart races when we're excited to why bug bites itch, Dr. Choi has a unique way of combining medical facts mixed with humor and kid-friendly terminology, all while sticking to the real science of it all. Illustrations by Jannie Ho add an even more engaging and playful tone to the book, while providing medically accurate diagrams, beautifully combining a comic book feel with a scientifically correct depiction of each topic. I highly recommend this to all curious kids. And I promise that their adults will enjoy this and learn the answers to many of their questions as well!”

“Ask the Doctor perfectly blends kid-pleasing humor with the clear, simple, and accurate explanations Dr. Choi is known for. It hooks kids with the embarrassing questions we all have had, then keeps them engaged with adorably gross illustrations, a perfect amount of detail, and a ceaseless sense of awe at our bizarre bodies. I know my kids will be giggling away as they learn all the valuable information inside this book!”

“As a practicing pediatrician, I'm very familiar with the quirky questions children ask during office visits. And while I have not been asked every question in Dr. Choi’s marvelous new book, I've heard most of them. Kids LOVE to learn about the human body, and one of the best ways to teach them is to package the information in small, digestible bites filled with humor. Dr. Choi’s book accomplishes this with the perfect blend of facts and eye-catching illustrations. I can't wait to share it with my own patients!”

"An eye-opening, gut-busting, fun approach to teaching kids about the quirky ways our bodies work."

"This book is a fabulous and funny introduction to various bodily functions for curious kids. I’m impressed with how pediatrician Dr. Betty Choi breaks down medical terms into easy-to-understand language while expertly addressing questions children want answers to. The text and art are a hilarious pairing, with bodily humor that will keep kids engaged and laughing. The characters are full of personality, from a drop of urine that is happy to go “into the potty pond” to platelets summoning healing power. What do booger colors mean? Why do my fingers look like raisins after a bath? Find the answers to these and many more questions in this book. Highly recommend!"

"Dr. Betty Choi puts the fun in the fundamentals of how the human body works. She and illustrator Jannie Ho take the reader on a fun trip through different parts and systems of the body, how and why things function, and what happens when things go awry. The use of humor, both in words and visuals, throughout the book is exceptional and helps the content be super engaging to children (and adults!). I can’t wait to share this book with my kids and my patients!" 

"It just doesn't get better than this combo -- answers to questions kids REALLY want to know paired with amazing illustrations and an approachable graphic novel format. What's not to love!"
