A sheet of paper and, under it, another sheet of paper, and, under it, another sheet of paper, and, under it, a table, and under it, a floor, and, under it, a room, and under it, a basement… and if we go on, we will soon find ourselves at the other side of the world.
A puppet with a broken nose waits for his turn to see the doctor. There are other patients that go first: the penguin, the duck, the bear and the frog. All they are waiting with fear the medical check-up, which will bring health and happiness back to them.
A distinct picture book, full of sweetness, to give to anyone who has to go to the waiting room of a health centre.
