Review: Great concept; could use more women

The other reviewers were certainly correct that "If You See a Doctor" had a terrific concept with wonderfully drawn pictures and photographs that enabled even very young children to enjoy this book. The minor sexism, which is the reason that I gave the book four stars instead of five, was undoubtedly unconscious and unintended. If only each job had two pictures, with one of each gender accompanying it, I would have nothing but praise in this review. There were six jobs represented with men and only two with women and of the two women, only one was in a non-traditional career. Perhaps a female police officer or fire fighter would be good additions. Since the book was so well done (I really loved the illustrations), I would definitely recommend this book with the qualification that the subject of women in non-traditional jobs be brought up to the child at the same time.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review which I have tried to give.
