The Hospital for Mythological Creatures

By Cathy Evans

A spoonful of imagination helps the medicine go down

One Wednesday morning, Dani at Emergency Services takes a call: there's been a car crash. Daisy's arm is broken, Lisa has a head injury, and poor Mr. Von Thunderhoof has chest pains. They're rushed by ambulance to the Hospital for Mythological Creatures, where a team of nurses, doctors, radiographers, and even orderlies spring into action.

As the patients are cared for, children discover how a real hospital works, from radiology to pediatrics and neonatal to the ICU, through a playful, imaginative lens. Packed with warmth, humor, and fantastical characters, this book conveys factual content with reassuring warmth and sparkle. Cathy Evans's clear, engaging storytelling combines with Ed Brown's lively illustrations to bring medical adventures to life.
