What happens behind the scenes of a hospital? This book reveals the inner workings of this busy building and the jobs people do there. Starting with a large, double gatefold, which opens to show a detailed cutaway illustration of all the rooms or departments and activities in each setting, and the "guided tour" in each book ends with a brief history and world survey.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6-An introduction to a modern hospital from the high-profile operating room to the support services of the basement laundry. A gatefold illustration offers a cutaway picture of a three-story building, color coded and numbered with corresponding informative captions. The concise two-page chapters that follow explain what happens in the different areas of the building-the personnel, the equipment, and the patients. One section presents a time line of hospital history. The many color and line drawings provide additional information. James Howe's The Hospital Book (Morrow, 1994) concentrates on the patient's experience. Like that book, Malam's title will help prepare children for a hospital stay. It will also be useful as assignment support.
