Next Please: Books for 3-4 Year Olds

Next Please by Ernst Jandl

Five broken toys wait in a dimly lit room for their turn to see the doctor. The simple text and bare waiting room creates a feeling of anxiousness that a child might feel as they wait their turn in a doctor's office. The book begins with "Five are waiting" and repeats the countdown until it's time for the last patient to enter.
