"A Visit to the Hospital" is of the former type. It certainly gives a very friendly, interested approach to the child and could not help but relieve some of the apprehension in any child. I feel that this book does a fine job in bringing reasonable acceptance of a hospitalization to the six- to ten-year-old who is having a tonsillectomy and who can sort out the details for himself in a leisurely manner with his increased comprehension and attention span.
