00:00Hi friends! Today, I'm visiting the doctor for a checkup. Have you ever been to the doctor?
00:08Wow! I'm at Manhattan Valley Pediatrics. When you go to the doctor, your grown-up will be
00:15there with you the whole time. Peek-a-boo! You can also bring a special stuffed animal
00:22or a toy with you. Let's bring this bunny inside with us today. Come on!
00:36Hi Melina! Hi Ms. Rachel! I'm here for a checkup. Are you here to see Dr. Hoffman? Yes! Great! Just
00:44have a seat and they'll call you shortly. Thank you Melina! You're welcome! Wow! This is called a
00:52waiting room. Waiting room! Lots of waiting rooms have fish tanks and toys and books to read.
01:00Let's go explore! Come on! Wow! Look at this light board! So much fun! I found my favorite color! Pink!
01:14Let's put it in the light board! Put it in, put it in, put it in! Wow! So many colors!
01:25Look! A blue car! Beep-beep! Vroom-vroom-vroom! Beep-beep! Let's go sit on the couch together! Come on!
01:36What is a doctor? A doctor is a helper who makes sure you're healthy and growing. She checks your eyes. Boop! Boop!
01:52She checks your ears. Beep! Beep! She checks your tummy too. She listens to your heartbeat. She checks every part of you.
02:04A doctor is a helper who makes sure you're healthy and growing. I'm so happy to be at the doctor with you today.
02:15Let's listen for my name. Miss Rachel? Hi! Hi! Great to see you. Can you come and follow me to room four please?
02:25Yes! Have a seat. Thank you! Can you please take off your shoes? Sure!
02:36I'm gonna take off my shoes. Taking off my shoes. What do I do next? Now you're gonna step on the scale.
02:44Okay! I'm stepping on the scale. Now I'm gonna take your height. The scale takes my weight and now she's
02:55going to see how tall I am. It's so neat to see how much you've grown.
03:03Thank you so much, Katrina! Thank you and have a great day! Bye! Now we wait for the doctor.
03:10Hmm...What can you do while you wait? Maybe play with your toy? I have this little bunny, remember?
03:19Let's pretend she's sleeping.
03:24Wake up, little bunny! Hop, little bunny! Hop, hop, hop! Hop, little bunny! Hop, hop! Hop, little bunny! Hop, hop, hop! Hop, hop, hop! Hop, hop! Hop, hop! Hop, hop, hop! Hop, hop! Hop, hop! Hop! Hop and stop!
03:34I hear a knock. It's the doctor.
03:42Hi, Miss Rachel. Hi, friends.
03:45Hi, Dr. Hoffman.
03:46It's great to see you today.
03:48It's great to see you, too.
03:51I brought a stuffed animal with me so you could show the kids how sometimes you do a little checkup on a stuffed animal.
03:58That's a great idea.
04:00Can I listen to your bunny's heart?
04:02Yeah.
04:02Okay, I'm going to put on my stethoscope and listen to her heart.
04:08You can do this at home with a pretend doctor's kit.
04:13You could be the doctor and listen to your stuffed animal's heart or your grown-ups.
04:19Her heart is very strong.
04:21Wow.
04:22I also think because the bunny has such big ears, we should check her ears.
04:26Good idea.
04:28Look at the bunny's ears. One, two.
04:31This tool is called an otoscope. I'm going to use it to look in the bunny's ears.
04:35Wow.
04:36That ear looks perfect.
04:39And this one's good, too.
04:42Yay.
04:42Miss Rachel, now it's your turn for a checkup.
04:47I get a checkup now. Great.
04:50So, first of all, I would like to look in your eyes.
04:53Great.
04:54This is called an ophthalmoscope.
04:56Whoa, that's a big word. How do you say it?
04:59Ophthalmoscope.
05:00Wow.
05:01The ophthalmoscope makes little moons and big moons.
05:04Big and little.
05:06I'm going to use it to look in your eyes.
05:11Perfect.
05:12Everything looks great.
05:14Yay.
05:15Next, I would like to listen to your heart using my stethoscope.
05:19Wow.
05:19Wow.
05:26Now I'm going to listen to your back and check your lungs.
05:29Deep breath.
05:36Taking deep breaths also helps me feel relaxed.
05:39You can pretend like you're blowing out your birthday candle.
05:42Ooh.
05:43Smell the roses.
05:45Blow out the candles.
05:48Perfect.
05:49That's fun.
05:51Now I'd like to use my tongue depressor to look in your mouth.
05:55Okay.
05:56Open up really wide and say, ah.
05:58Ah.
06:00Perfect.
06:01Great job.
06:02Cool.
06:03Now I'm going to check your reflexes on your knees.
06:06Whoa.
06:07Oh, that's so neat.
06:09Everything's working perfectly.
06:11Great.
06:12Hey, friends.
06:13Let's show Dr. Hoffman the song we like about the gum sticking to our knees.
06:19Icky, sicky, sicky, sicky bubble gum.
06:22Bubble gum.
06:23Bubble gum.
06:24Icky, sicky, sicky, sicky bubble gum.
06:27Makes your hands stick to your knees.
06:30Uh-oh.
06:31And you pull them.
06:32And you pull them.
06:33And you pull them away.
06:36That's one of my favorites, too.
06:39Now I'm going to check your ears.
06:41This is my otoscope.
06:42Some kids like to touch it.
06:45See, it doesn't hurt.
06:47It just makes your finger glow.
06:48Ooh.
06:50That's neat.
06:51Now I'm going to look in your ears.
06:54Do you have monkeys in your ears?
06:56I don't think so.
06:58None on that side.
06:59Let me check the other one.
07:03Very good.
07:04That was easy.
07:05Now I'm going to warm up my hands and check your neck.
07:09This is my neck.
07:13Okay.
07:14Everything feels great.
07:16Yay.
07:17Last but not least, I would like to check your tummy.
07:20Can you lay down?
07:21Sure.
07:22I like getting a checkup.
07:23Your belly feels nice and soft.
07:34Great.
07:35Thank you for coming, Miss Rachel.
07:37I really enjoyed my checkup, Dr. Hoffman.
07:41Would you like a sticker?
07:43Yes.
07:44Here you go.
07:45Wow.
07:47Look, friends.
07:48Blue.
07:49Yellow.
07:50And my favorite color, pink.
07:52Yay.
07:54And here's a balloon with a zebra on it.
07:56Oh, my gosh.
07:57Thank you so much.
07:58It's an orange balloon with a zebra.
08:01Yay.
08:02Dr. Hoffman, I have a question.
08:04Sure.
08:05How can we stay healthy?
08:07The way to stay healthy is to go outside as much as possible.
08:15Run around.
08:20Eat a variety of foods.
08:22And spend time with people you love.
08:28Oh, that's so nice.
08:32Thank you so much for having me today.
08:35Thank you for coming.
08:35Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.
08:42So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick.
08:45The doctor came with his bag and his hand.
08:49And he knocked on the door with a rat-a-tap-tap.
08:52He looked at the dolly and he shook his head.
08:55And he said,
08:56Miss Polly put her straight to bed.
08:59He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
09:02I'll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.
09:07Come on, let's do it again.
09:09Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.
09:15So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick.
09:19The doctor came with his bag and his hat.
09:22And he knocked on the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.
09:25He looked at the dolly and he shook his head.
09:29And he said,
09:29Miss Polly put her straight to bed.
09:32He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
09:35I'll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.
09:39Guess who else is getting a check-up today?
09:46I'll give you some hints.
09:49He's orange.
09:51And he's furry.
09:54And he's so silly.
09:58Yeah, it's Kirby.
10:01Let's check in and see how Kirby's check-up is going.
10:05Oh, here comes the doctor.
10:21Hi, Herbie.
10:22How are you today?
10:23I'm good.
10:23Hi, Dr. Hoffman.
10:25Okay.
10:26So let's start with your eyes.
10:28Okay, I'm ready.
10:29Do you know what this is called?
10:31An eye thing?
10:32It's called an ophthalmoscope.
10:34Oh.
10:35I'm going to put it next to my eye.
10:37And I'm going to look inside of your eye.
10:39Okay, I'm ready.
10:40Okay.
10:40Oh, oh, try to stay still.
10:42Okay.
10:43Okay, okay.
10:44Oh, your eyes look great.
10:47Okay.
10:47Should I say ah?
10:48You can say ah when we do your mouth.
10:50Do you want to do your mouth now?
10:51Yeah.
10:52Okay, let's do your mouth.
10:54How do we do that?
10:55Well, I'm going to use my light.
10:56And I'm going to use something called a tongue depressor.
10:58Oh, are those for popsicles?
11:01No, they're not for popsicles.
11:03They're just for your mouth.
11:04Okay.
11:05So open up and say ah.
11:08Ah.
11:09Ah.
11:09Ah.
11:10Ah.
11:10Ah.
11:11Ah.
11:11Everything looks fantastic.
11:13Yay.
11:14You did a great job.
11:15Okay, now you say ah.
11:16Ah.
11:17Ah.
11:17Ah.

11:18Ah.
11:18Ah.

11:20Yeah.
11:20That was fun.
11:22Oh, yeah.
11:23All right, honey.
11:23Now I say ah.
11:24Ah.
11:25Ah.
11:25Ah.
11:26Ah.
11:26You have a great voice, Herbie.
11:27I had no idea.
11:29Okay, so I'd like to look in your ears now.
11:31Okay.
11:31So, I'm going to open up.
11:33Oh, wow.
11:34You've got a lot of hair around here.
11:35Let me find your ears.
11:36Oof.
11:37Okay, there they are.
11:38I'm looking in there.
11:39Can you see the apples I ate this morning?
11:42I don't see any apples, but I do see your eardrum and the little bones that conduct your
11:48hearing.
11:48All right.
11:49Wow.
11:49What about bananas?
11:51No bananas, but a little bit of earwax.
11:54Can you see my brain?
11:55Nope.
11:56I can't see your brain.
11:57Oh.
11:58Can I look on the other side?
11:59Yeah.
12:02No bananas on that side either.
12:04Oh.
12:04Eardrums, wax, and little tiny bones.
12:07Oh, yeah.
12:07I had watermelon.
12:09Should I listen to your heart?
12:10Yeah.
12:11Okay, let's listen to your heart with my stethoscope.
12:15Let's take a listen.
12:17Boom.
12:18Boom.
12:19Boom.
12:21Your heart is going very fast.
12:23Are you nervous?
12:24No, I'm excited.
12:26Oh, that happens sometimes, too.
12:28I'm going to listen to your lungs now.
12:29Okay.
12:30Take a deep breath.
12:39Good job, Herbie.
12:41Everything sounds great.
12:42Hooray.
12:43Can I touch your tummy?
12:45Sure.
12:45All right.
12:46Let me touch that belly.
12:47Oh, sorry.
12:48Herbie, I didn't know you were so ticklish.
12:50I'm ticklish.
12:50Okay, okay.
12:51All right.
12:52You're good.
12:53Can I listen to your heart?
12:55Sure.
12:56Would you like to try the stethoscope?
12:57Yeah.
12:58Okay, absolutely.
12:59Here you go.
13:00Should I put it on you?
13:01Yeah, can you?
13:02Yeah.
13:02Let's put it on.
13:03All right.
13:04Here.
13:04This is where my heart is.
13:05It's on the left side.
13:06Oh.
13:08You have a nice heartbeat.
13:10Oh, thank you.
13:11It's a very nice heart.
13:13I can tell you really care.
13:15I do.
13:16I do care, Herbie.
13:18You did a great job today, Herbie.
13:20Can I give you a sticker?
13:21Yeah.
13:22Here you go.
13:25You're welcome.
13:26I'm going to go see my next patient now.
13:28It's been really nice spending time with you.
13:30Okay, bye.
13:31All right, bye.
13:31Bye-bye.
13:32Next time I'll bring the popsicles.
13:34Hi, I'm Miss Ashley.
13:39What letter do you hear at the beginning of the word doctor?
13:47Yes, the letter D.
13:50Can you say it with me?
13:54D.
13:56Great job.
13:59That was a great checkup.
14:01And now we're back home again.
14:04At home, you can pretend to be the doctor.
14:12You can give a checkup to your grown-up or a stuffie.
14:18Do you have a stuffie you could get out right now?
14:21And we'll pretend to do a checkup on the stuffie together.
14:26I have a puppy.
14:30Yeah.
14:31He's so cute.
14:32His name is Puppy.
14:33Hi, puppy.
14:35Hi, puppy.
14:36Hello.
14:37Woof, woof.
14:38He he he.
14:41Let's pretend we're the doctor knocking on the door.
14:45Knock, knock, knock.
14:46Can you do that?
14:48Knock, knock, knock.
14:49Hello.
14:50I'm Dr. Rachel.
14:52What's your name, doctor?
14:53Hi, puppy.
14:55Hi, puppy.
14:56Hi, puppy.
14:58First, I'm going to see how much you weigh.
15:01Step on my scale.
15:03Can you make your stuffed animal step on the scale?
15:07Step on the scale.
15:09I'm pretending my hand is a scale.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Oh, the puppy weighs seven pounds.
15:17How much does your stuffed animal weigh?
15:21Great.
15:22Now, puppy, we need to see how tall you are.
15:25We need to see how much you've grown.
15:28I'm going to pretend that I'm measuring the puppy.
15:32My puppy is one foot.
15:34How tall is your stuffed animal?
15:39Great.
15:40Good job, puppy.
15:41I'm proud of you.
15:43Woof, woof.
15:45Next, I need to look at puppies.
15:49What are those?
15:52What do we see with our eyes?
15:56I need to look at your eyes.
15:59Let's get out our athalmoscope.
16:02Oh, wow, puppy.
16:04Your eyes are looking great.
16:08Did you look at your stuffed animal's eyes?
16:11Good job.
16:13Now, we need to look in our stuffed animals.
16:18What are these?
16:19What do we hear with our ears?
16:23Good job.
16:24We need to look in your ears.
16:27Do you want to touch the otoscope first
16:30to see what it feels like?
16:32Let's let puppy touch it.
16:34Yeah, that's our otoscope.
16:39Yeah.
16:40Let's look in your ears now.
16:43Okay.
16:44Look in your stuffed animal's ears.
16:46Oh, looks great.
16:49Is there anything in your stuffed animal's ears?
16:54Puppy's ears look very healthy.
16:57Good job, puppy.
16:58I'm so proud of you.
17:00Hi.
17:01Hi.
17:01Can you help me find my stethoscope?
17:07Where is my stethoscope?
17:09Where could it be?
17:19Do you see my stethoscope?
17:29It's on my elbow?
17:32No, that's not it.
17:35It's on my knee?
17:37Hmm, that's not it either.
17:40What?
17:41It's on my head?
17:43It's on my head?
17:44Oh, yay.
17:45We found it.
17:46Oh, yay.
17:47We found it.
17:48Now, we need to look in puppies.
17:52What's this?
17:53Yeah, the mouth.
17:54Yeah.
17:55Let's get out our tongue depressor.
17:57Let's pretend that puppy doesn't know how to say, ah.
18:00Let's show him.
18:01Help me on the count of three.
18:03One, two, three.
18:06Ah.
18:07Thank you for showing me.
18:09Let's show him.
18:10Help me on the count of three.
18:12One, two, three.
18:17Ah.
18:18Thank you for showing me.
18:23Okay, puppy.
18:24Say, ah.
18:25Ah.
18:28Your mouth looks great.
18:34Next, we need to listen to puppy's heart.
18:39What do we use to listen to the heart?
18:42A stethoscope.
18:45Yeah, stethoscope.
18:47Let's put it on and listen to puppy's heart.
18:51Okay, puppy.
18:53Bum, bum.
18:54Bum, bum.
18:55Bum, bum.
18:56Can you do that?
18:57Bum, bum.
18:58Bum, bum.
18:59Bum, bum.
19:00Your heart sounds great, puppy.
19:02Now, take a deep breath.
19:03I'm going to listen to your lungs.
19:05Can you help puppy take a deep breath?
19:07He can't remember how.
19:09Good job.
19:10I did it.
19:11Great job, puppy.
19:12You took a deep breath.
19:13Thanks for helping.
19:14I am going to the doctor.
19:15I am going to the doctor.
19:17By Miss Rachel.
19:18Illustrated by Lauren Brands.
19:20Today, I am going to the doctor for a checkup.
19:23My mommy will be there with me the whole time.
19:27I can choose a toy to take with me.
19:34First, we will check in at the desk.
19:35There are toys and books in the waiting area.
19:36I can play with the toys and read the books.
19:37I am going to the doctor for a checkup.
19:39My mommy will be there with me the whole time.
19:44I can choose a toy to take with me.
19:50First, we will check in at the desk.
19:57There are toys and books in the waiting area.
20:00I can play with the toys and read the books.
20:06The nurse is a nice helper.
20:08She will call my name.
20:10Mommy and I will go to a room.
20:15The nurse will tell me to step on the scale.
20:18The scale shows the nurse how much I weigh.
20:23The nurse will take my height.
20:25I can see how much I have grown.
20:29I will meet the doctor.
20:33He is a nice helper.
20:35The doctor will look in my eyes.
20:40The doctor will look in my ears.
20:46The doctor will look in my mouth.
20:50He will listen to my heart and lungs with a stethoscope.
20:56He will check my tummy.
21:01He will check my neck.
21:03The doctor and my mommy will talk.
21:08After that, I will be all done with my checkup.
21:14I can choose a sticker.
21:16I will feel proud.
21:20I will go back home with my mommy.
21:25When I'm home, I can play.
21:28Next, we feel our stuffed animal's neck.
21:38Let's try that.
21:40Feels good.
21:42Now we feel our stuffed animal's tummy.
21:47Touch the tummy.
21:49Your tummy is great, puppy.
21:58Sometimes when you go to the doctor, they might take your blood pressure.
22:02They take mine sometimes.
22:04And for that, they put something on like this.
22:08And it feels like a tight squeeze on your arm.
22:13It feels like a big arm hug.
22:16Puppy, we're going to squeeze this and take your blood pressure.
22:20Does that feel like a big hug or a squeeze?
22:24Yeah.
22:25Yeah.
22:30Hmm.
22:31Which stethoscope is different?
22:37Yes.
22:38This one.
22:41Great job.
22:46Now, let's check puppy's reflexes.
22:50Boop.
22:51Woo.
22:52That's silly.
22:53Boop.
22:54Woo.
22:55Boop.
22:56Woo.
22:57Great reflexes, puppy.
22:59Do you remember what Dr. Hoffman told us we can do to stay healthy?
23:04Let's tell puppy.
23:06We need to tell our stuffed animals.
23:09Be active.
23:11What does that mean?
23:13Run around.
23:14Go to the playground and climb.
23:17Have fun outside.
23:24And eat a variety of foods.
23:27What's your favorite food?
23:31My favorite food is strawberries.
23:33They're so yummy.
23:41And spend time with your family.
23:44Get lots of love.
23:52Those things help us stay healthy.
23:57Our stuffed animals are done with their checkups.
24:00Great job.
24:01Should we give them stickers?
24:04Should I give puppy a sticker?
24:06Yeah.
24:07Here's your sticker puppy.
24:08You did a great job and I'm proud of you.
24:21Doctor?
24:22Yes?
24:23Do you have a doctor?
24:24Of course I have a doctor.
24:26Does everyone go to the doctor?
24:28Most people do go to the doctor, yes.
24:31I have one question.
24:32Sure.
24:33Where's my heart?
24:34It's on the left side of your chest.
24:37I'll show you.
24:38Right here.
24:39Oh, right there.
24:41It's right there.
24:42I know where my nose is.
24:44Where's your nose?
24:45Right there.
24:46Honey, you got it right.
24:48I got it.
24:50Where is your nose?
24:52Where could it be?
24:54Where is your nose?
24:56Point to it with me.
24:58That's our mouth.
24:59You got it.
25:00Where are your eyes?
25:03Where could they be?
25:04Where did our eyes be?
25:05Point to it with me.
25:09Yeah.
25:10We have two eyes.
25:11Here.
25:12Where is your mouth?
25:13Where could it be?
25:14Where is your mouth?
25:16Point to it with me.
25:19That's our mouth.

25:41Next, let's pretend that Puppy fell off his bike.
25:46He needs some Band-Aids.
25:48Can you help?
25:52Let's get out our Band-Aid case.
25:56Say, open, and it will open.
25:59Open.
26:03Great, it opened.
26:08Can you help me put the Band-Aids on, Puppy?
26:15You say, on, and they'll go on.
26:18Put it on, put it on, put it on.
26:22On, great.
26:25The Band-Aid's on Puppy.
26:28Let's put one on Puppy's arm.
26:30Put it on, put it on, put it on.
26:34Oh, wonderful.
26:37Puppy is feeling so much better.
26:41Next, let's get out my blue Band-Aid.
26:45I think I have a blue Band-Aid in my pocket.
26:48Here it is.
26:49Let's put this one on Puppy's other arm.
26:53Ready?
26:54Put it on, put it on, put it on.
26:57Put it on.
27:00Oh, Puppy's feeling so much better.
27:03Thank you for helping him.
27:09I.

28:30We learned so much today
28:34About going to the doctor
28:36We learned that a doctor
28:38Is a helper
28:40And that you can take a special
28:42Stuffed animal to the doctor
28:44Peekaboo
28:46We also learned
28:48All the things a doctor checks
28:50To make sure that you're healthy
28:52And growing
28:54I know when you visit the doctor
28:56You're going to have a wonderful visit
