Amazon Description
Acclaimed author-illustrator Rosemary Wells offers a spoonful of picture book pleasure that will have everyone feeling better!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.

“Not feeling perkier,” says Felix, slumped sideways over a bowl of inadequate prunes. That this is finally a temporary affliction is announced in the title, liberating the reader to marvel over Felix’s stoicism even as he is being plopped outside on his toy motorcycle for the proverbial fresh air. What can you do? Be polite about it, at least. Here’s Felix (not thrilled) over pancakes: “No, please.”
