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.
