Dr Bongi recommends the medicine, while Alex’s mother is present during the visit and later encourages him. Their roles could prompt discussion of who a child can talk to when medicine tastes unpleasant.
Some scenes show medicine being hidden where a dog or birds may encounter it. A child might benefit from a brief reminder that real medicine should not be concealed or left where animals can reach it.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
