From the publisher

It’s Clementine Brown’s birthday, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown have given her a nurse’s outfit and a first-aid kit – just what she wanted! There is no shortage of emergencies that need her attention (and her liberal use of bandages): Mr. Brown’s stubbed toe, Mrs. Brown’s headache, even Wellington the dog’s tender paw. But her brother, Tommy, is a different matter. Even though he keeps crashing into things, he insists that he doesn’t need a nurse. Clementine is sad – nurses really need someone to help. But could it be that when a real emergency occurs, her skills will be needed?

“When Clementine gets a nurse's outfit as a birthday gift, she can't wait to fix up any injuries for her family members—always instructing them to keep their bandages on "for a week." Her brother is adamant he doesn't need any nursing until he needs Clementine's help to catch him when falling out of a tree. This is a nice little book for kids who like to dress up and play nurse, but not a very intriguing or exciting story.”
