“Sadie’s Sore Throat” was the third Dr. Hippo book my toddler picked up after reading “The Little Elephant with the Big Earache” and The Moose with Loose Poops.

Browsing through the Popular bookstore one afternoon, I was delighted to find this set of 4 books in a cute, cardboard suitcase.
I’ve never read the Paddington Bear series (until I had a child) but was immediately attracted by the bear in his big, floppy hat.
