Book Descriptions
for Felix Feels Better by Rosemary Wells
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
After too many chocolate blimpies and not enough sleep, little Felix isn’t feeling well. Mama tries chamomile tea, sugared prunes (“You’ll feel perkier with the prunes”) and fresh air before deciding a trip to Dr. Duck is in order. Felix is a little afraid that Mama won’t stay with him at the doctor’s office, but she does. Dr. Duck listens to Felix’s heart, looks in his ears, and takes his temperature. Two spoonfuls of doctor-dispensed Happy Tummy and a long nap later, this forlorn young guinea pig is his energetic self again in Rosemary Wells’s reassuring, gently humorous story illustrated in watercolor, ink, and other media. (Ages 2–5)

From the Publisher
A New York Times Bestseller! The best-selling Rosemary Wells offers the cure for a childhood fear.
Felix ate too many chocolate blimpies, and he doesn't feel well. Not even Mama's dose of sugared prunes helps him feel "perkier". So off to Doctor Duck he must go. "Don't be afraid, my little moonbeam", says Mama. But Felix is afraid.
Best-selling author and illustrator Rosemary Wells applies her rare ability to tell a funny, heartfelt story about a common childhood experience: going to the doctor. Comforting and friendly, Doctor Duck--whom readers first met in HERE COMES MOTHER GOOSE--takes a star turn in FELIX FEELS BETTER, and Wells's inimitable artwork will delight small children and reassure even the most reluctant young patient.
