Nurse Clementine

Nurse Clementine is a realistic children's picture book written by Simon James in 2013.  This short story allows readers to follow the main character Clementine as she experiments with her passion for being a nurse.  Throughout the story, Clementine is constantly coming to the rescue to help members of her family who have minor injuries however towards the end of the story, Clementine gets to use all of her nurse skills to help her brother safely come down from being stuck in a tree. This story would most appeal to younger elementary school students as there are not many words on each page and the pictures truly aid in reader comprehension.  This book would be extremely useful for students who are interested in the medical field as the last two pages of the book are filled with cartoon pictures of different medical tools with their definition underneath.  The simple structure of this text is easy for beginning readers to follow along and there is even repetition present when Clementine is using her nurse skills to make each member of her family feel better. Overall, Nurse Clementine is a feel good children's story that helps readers understand the importance of following your dreams in order to fulfill
all of their goals in life.
