Alex's Super Medicine

Alex’s Super Medicine follows Alex when he isn’t feeling well and visits Dr. Bongi, who gives him medicine to help him feel better. There is just one problem: Alex thinks the medicine tastes terrible. Instead of drinking it, he tries several imaginative ways to avoid it, from putting it on a sandwich to hiding it in unexpected places. With a simple, playful storyline, the book explores a familiar childhood moment: not wanting to take medicine even when it may help. Parents can use the story to talk with children about why Alex keeps avoiding his medicine and what finally gives him the courage to try it.
