About this book
Bluey and her friends are playing doctor, and Honey is eager for her turn with Dr. Bingo. As new patients arrive with bigger, flashier “injuries,” Honey has to practice patience while everyone takes a turn. This playful story captures the humor and heart of Bluey’s world, with plenty of imaginative make-believe. Perfect for preschoolers and early readers who love the show and stories about taking turns and being kind.
