The Mary Frances first aid book : with ready reference list of ordinary accidents and illnesses, and approved home remedies

In this charming tale a bright‑eyed youngster, fresh from a Red Cross first‑aid class, discovers how useful her new skills can be when she imagines herself as “Miss Helpem,” the assistant nurse caring for a troop bound for Mexico. Together with her friend Billy, who pretends to be an ambulance driver, she steps into a dollhouse world where the ordinary becomes an adventure in compassion and quick thinking.

The story weaves a gentle narrative with a handy reference guide, listing common household mishaps—from bruises and burns to insect bites and stomach upsets—and offering simple, home‑based remedies. Illustrated with warm, inviting drawings, the book encourages children to recognize when professional help is needed while empowering them with basic steps they can take in an emergency.

Perfect for curious readers who love both storytelling and learning, it introduces essential first‑aid concepts in a way that feels like play, fostering confidence and a caring spirit in the next generation.
