A welcome new edition of this basic preparation book. Miffy still must go to hospital, but mum goes along too and the nurse is very reassuring. While the old edition had Miffy's tonsils coming out, this new one could be an operation for almost anything - useful in an age when tonsils are not so regularly removed. The operation is also an emergency this time. The simple line drawings with bright primary colours will, as always with Dick Bruna, appeal to the very young. Welcome back!
