Dr. Waddle describes a cell and tells how scientists do research, like detectives, to find clues to diseases like cancer. A Day With Dr. Waddle is a coloring book and a workbook, and ends with six good health habits for children to follow. . Although originally designed for children ages 7 - 10, Dr. Waddle is popular among all age groups.
