Review: Same book,,no Band-Aids! - Went back and bought two more copies? Need I say anything else? I do attach a few band-aids on the back cover, like the "old days",,,,but I realize they can't probably do that anymore. Certainly, adds to the surprise!
Review: A Timeless Story of Altruism - My mother bought this book for me when it was first published in 1950. I was six years old at the time, and I read it to my little sister, who was three. We both loved it, and my sister, Laura, demanded I read it over and over again, which I happily did. Found a use for those Band-Aids, too. What I didn't know at the time was that "Doctor" Dan, the protagonist of this story, had a little sister named Carly who grew up to be a rock star. (The book was dedicated to Peter Simon, Carly's little brother and Little Golden Books at the time were a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster so it's a pretty safe bet that the "Carly" wasn't Carly Fiorina. Nor Carly Rae Jepsen. Moreover, the author, Helen Gaspard, was the Simon kids' nanny.) Since then, this Dan, no doubt the result of having owned "Dr. Dan" as a child, has bought every Carly Simon record ever made, along with multiple copies of this terrific book, which have been given to a multitude of children, relatives and otherwise. I have the older kids read the story to the little ones. To a child, the kids are enraptured by the story and don't find it dated. Moreover, it gets `em away from Grand Theft Auto and Mafia II for awhile, a good thing. Some reviewers have noted the "sexism" which pervades the book, which was written by a woman. Boys play Cowboys and Indians (with toy guns, not real ones). Girls play with dolls. Mom's a stay-at-home mom, and Dad cuts the grass, with a manual push mower. (I remember cutting the grass with one of them back in the `50's.) To those who have a problem with this, or with little Carly's bloomers, get a life! The book is a product of its times, and its times weren't so bad. The essence of this story, an altruistic little boy with a loving family, is timeless, and will survive the inanities of political correctness. I hope the idea of a kid coming to the aid of his little sister, his dog, and his Dad will survive, too.
