In Benji and Briana Become Booger Doctors by Cindy Lee Neighbors, we are introduced to a little girl who has a serious case of booger sneezes. Her brother Benji suggests that they go to Surgeryland. Briana is confused but Benji tells her Surgeryland is the only place where they can be seen by the Booger doctors. They are greeted by small fairies who know Benji by name. To make sure Briana stays calm, Benji lets the doctor check him out first. The Booger doctor and his fairies do their magic work and soon Briana finds herself feeling better. She’s given a magical medicine and a sense of relief. After Benji has his own booger procedure done, the siblings return to their world where they tell their mother of their adventure to Surgeryland and how they are now booger-free.
Benji and Briana Become Booger Doctors is a great children’s book that many kids can relate to. With an adorable brother and sister duo, we can taken on an adventure to find a cure for what seems like the common cold. It's a fun journey that a child would love to go on using their imagination, and kids can relate to it. Getting the sniffles or the common cold is usual for children but might not be as fun to deal with. However, this book has a different and quirky take on it. The illustrations by Tim Crecelius are so beautiful and fit perfectly with the storyline. Overall, Cindy Lee Neighbors has done a wonderful job and I can’t wait to read what she comes out with next.
