Flippy and the Doctor's Cool Tools!

Is your child nervous or curious about going to the doctor?

This cheerful, rhyming story helps kids explore real doctor tools and feel brave at their next checkup...just like Flippy the Penguin!

When Flippy and his friend Ellie visit a kind pediatrician named Dr. Owl, they get to try out all kinds of cool medical tools: stethoscopes, thermometers, otoscopes, and more. They learn what each one does and how doctors and nurses use them to help kids feel better.

From silly sound games to "Junior Doctor" badges, Flippy and the Doctor's Cool Tools turns a typical doctor visit into a fun learning adventure. Whether it's a back-to-school checkup, a preschool physical, or just curiosity about medical tools, this story helps children feel confident and calm.

Perfect for toddlers and young children ages 3-7, especially for:

Kids getting ready for a doctor visit or wellness exam

Toddlers anxious about pediatric checkups or medical tools

Preschoolers interested in healthcare, science, or pretend play

Pediatricians, school nurses, and caregivers preparing young patients

What kids will learn:

The names and uses of real doctor tools

That common checkup tools don't hurt and help us stay healthy

That doctors and nurses are helpers

That being brave means trying something new, even when you're unsure
